Stronger LH or RH TRS

LH is stronger ,,since the prop shaft is counter rotating from the input shaft and the tourge is split in 2 directions.
The lowergears run infront of the downshaft ,,that is what makes it a LH drive so the bearings take less load at the bottom!
Hope this makes sense to you !?

I have the chance to buy a LH cheap but if their not as strong as a RH I am not going to mess with it.That's why I asked for a well educated answer and reason. Haven't gotten one yet!!!

The left hand TRS is stronger as the lower drive gear is located in the front of the gear case and supported better than the right hand unit that locates the gear in the bearing carrier. The bearing carrier has some movement so the gear pattern is not consistant.
I've blown up way more right hand TRS drives than the left.

The crush collar compresses under a lot of load and skews the gear lash. To help make the RH TRS stronger you would need to solid shim the carrier so it makes things a little more consistent/stable.

Thanks for the answers guys!I feel confident that the LH drives are probably stronger than the RH's.I've blown up right hands before but I never have owned a left beings I only have a single screw boat.Will a left make my boat handle any differently?Possibly list to starboard beings now it list to port when under a good load.
