I'm probably remembering it incorrectly. If so, the prop rotation thing is
still worth knowing, and I don't see it mentioned much here.

???????????????????????


Don't you mean the rotation of the motor (and therefore a LH or RH
prop)has a
significant effect on the way the boat backs?

90% of the time a "drifitng" boat will be idling. Never heard that there's
enough torque transmistted through the stringers to "significantly" effect
a
drifitng boat.
