Bow Lift..prop rotation

What is the correct direction of prop rotation to get the most bow lift on counter rotating drives and is it the same for V hulls and Cats?
Will more bow lift cause quicker wear of the drives or steering on heavier boats (7 to 8 thousand pound )

does inward mean from the top of the prop .. the starboard spins counterclockwise and the port clockwise?

it is different on a cat, depends on where the drive is mounted , either closer to the tunnel or closer to the outer hull
will perform different on prop rotation

Turning in always seems to give more bow lift.., rake will make a big difference 2..
