Triple engine question?

[Blue Water Runner]

Three outboard engines on the transom. Which ones rotate LH and RH? Just something I always wanted to know.

std set up is stbd and center turn RH and port turns LH.....more boats running 3 blades on outside and 4 blade on the center...

I actually thought that LH rotation might have been run center and RH on the sides possibly.


I bet getting the proper prop is fun with the 4 blade in the center.

actually pretty simple - get the outside engines where you want them and then (for mercs) use a smaller pitch rev 4 or bravo I to match the outside rev's....

I know with ours it's what Glenn said but we have all four blades...the center gets an added inch of pitch though. I think the four blades bite better on re-entry from going airborn too
