Title: Prop Rotation
Post by: chingdevil on March 01, 2009, 09:22:52 pm

I know this subject has been brought up before, but I just want to clarify something. In this picture of the Cory Environmental Tug Regain are both props rotating inwards?
When I build this tug I want to make sure I get it right

Hi NO they rotate outward from the top in that I say the PORT prop turns ANTI clock  Looking from stern of vessel
The STBD prop therefore turns clockwize again looking from the stern as in your picture
