Re: Carver Mariner prop rotation
Prop rotation in some applications is not the same as engine rotation. Older boats had a counter rotating engine to turn a single screw or starb side to the right. Engines rotated the same way you wanted the prop to rotate in forward up until about 30-40 years ago. Since then, engines rotate LH which is standard rotation and the output direction to the prop is changed at the transmission thus eliminating the need for building counter rotating engines.

Re: Carver Mariner prop rotation
350hp crusaders.
22 x 22 x1 3/8. 4 blade.
Some offshore boats turn them in instead of out. Mine are turning in, middle engine turn with the port rotation.
Allegedly affects bow lift or stern lift on high horsepower, high speed boats.
