Forgive me, but having looked at the website you recommend I am none the wiser. In its description it fails to mention in which way you are looking, and is therefore ambiguous. One might surmise that as it is an American site it is viewed from the front. Is this correct?

If you look at these props they are both left handed

Stand behind the boat.
Imagine the prop screwing itself into a solid, like Jello.
If it s a right-hand prop it will turn clockwise, going forward.

Remember where you put it after last nights drunken snack.
Take it out of the freezer
Smash the glass off
Using a toffee hammer, break a small piece onto your toast
