well that's according to the diagram that came with the prop and also the members of my local flying club
the only problem i was having was that it wasn't turning properly and that was down to the fact that i was told by members on this forum
that my original rudders were too big so i made them smaller which caused the turning problem once i put bigger rudders back on it now handles perfectly
the power of the prop was never a problem
The picture in post #8 shows the prop on backwards. The engine turns counterclockwise as looking at the
front of the engine. So with the prop mounted the way it is in post #8 turning CCW, Got RPM is right - the prop is mounted backwards. An efficiently operating prop puts more air to your rudders and makes it turn better and will also make the boat a bit faster too.
