Clockwise vs CCW, LH vs RH, Standard vs Reverse? Help me get this down once & for all

I know this is a few days old, but a few other things you can tell:
The first 3 letters of the ID tag are PL (PCM Left rotation) or PR (PCM Right rotation). The tag pictured above is PL.

Also the firing order of the Standard Rotation is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 and the firing order for Reverse Rotation is 1-8-4-5-6-2-7-3.

And, you can look at the prop. If you have a 1:1 transmission then the prop turns the same direction as the engine, when going forward.

Somewhere on my computers I have the PCM Ford and Chevy engine PDF that explains everything if anyone wants or needs it

Your motor is LH and your prop is RH. You have the 1.23:1 gear reduction tranny. Same as me.

Actually, my tranny is 1:1

According to your tag. You have the 1.23:1 reduction trans

I guess my engine tag disagrees with my tranny tag. :-/

I'm trusting the designation on the actual transmission for the ratio...

Someone switched your trans on you! That boat originally came with the gear reduction trans. Hmmm. I do believe that makes your prop LH then.

Yup! Trayson, show us a pic of your prop. BTW, I really like what you did with your boat. Great job.

I will definitley get you that picture. Now you're making me really curious. I can't imagine that I have the wrong rotation prop, I'm sure I'd notice that!

What is making me really curious is that I've noticed that my prop shaft is offset from the rudder. I'm sure it's done taking into account the placement for steering and prop-wash. So if I changed prop direction, wouldn't that make it so that my steering would be quite a bit affected?? I guess I should wait to ask these questions until I have the pics and we know things for certain!

The prop shaft is offset from the rudder so you don't have to remove the rudder in the event that you need to remove the prop shaft.
