RH or LH for Merc III leg

[donwhiteside]

This will prove what a newbie I am-

I am looking at picking up a spare leg for my '72 Mercruiser III. When the U-joint is turned (say clockwise), the prop shaft turns the opposite direction (viewed from the the front). Does this make this a RH or LH drive? Stock 427 engine, and my boat uses a RH drive now.

Thanks,

Don

That would be a RH rotation drive. I believe in those years that is all that was avaliable.

Thanks! There are some LH units, at least I've seen LH props for sale.
