just removed my props, does the prop marker "R" go on the port or starboard engine? Previous owner had it on the Port motor

Does this help?single step spinning in

If R was on the port side then there spinning in, common on Fountains, put them back on the way you found them

Don't be embarrassed. I've watched numerous people try to put their props on AT THE RAMP and sit there scratching their heads at how to do it.

Plus, yours doesn't even register on the crazy-question scale around this place. LOL

I watched a guys mechanic put them on the wrong sides, boat hopped off the side of the trailer and one prop hit a trailer fender. They pulled the boat out and put the next set of props on the wrong sides again. This time no damage.

A lot of fountains spin in. Put them back the way they were and check it before launching
