Which is which?

Props turning in = Bow Lift or Stern lift

I have heard and read it both ways.

Doesn't matter on a single. Only offers difference in lift characteristics on a twin.

On a single, it just changes the direction that the boat torques or leans at speed.

don't care what was printed in the column.

On a vee hull, spinning in pulls the rear of the boat down, raising the bow. spinning out raises the rear of the boat, creating stern lift.

I read that article also and wondered if he was having a brain fart or if no one proofreads anything before it goes to print.

ACTUALY JUST THINK ABOUT IT. TURNING IN SHOULD BRING STERN DOWN. HOLD YOUR HANDS IN FRONT OF YOU AND TWIST THEM BOTH INWARDS IT LOOKS LIKE STERN WOULD GO DOWN .NOW TURN THEM OUTWARDS TURN WILL LIFT
