As far as I know Volvo Penta delivered most/all of the Aquamatic single prop drives with a LH rotating propeller. Those drives can VERY easily be switched to support a RH propeller.

Any ideas if one or the other is "preferred"?

I've always run a RH, but is now to buy a new one. A LH might help keeping a lose prop cone in place (yes, I've lost a prop due to not tightening enough).

Anyone with any serious opinions (on a not so important matter - I'm really just curious)?
