Prop Rotation
Which is which?
Props turning in = Bow Lift or Stern lift I have heard and read it both ways. |
On ours, props turning in is chine walk, props turning out, same speed, better handling.
|
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. |
I'm asking about a twin setup.
|
Turning in= bow lift turning Turning out= stern lift

Tyler Crockett said just the opposite in Feb 2004 Hot Boat Stern-Drive Tech column.

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
