Twin v-drive inboard rotation
 
I think I'm overthinking it and have confused myself about this so I'm
just going to ask...With twin inboards in a "backwards" v-drive
configuration, is the RHR (right-hand rotation) engine on the port or
starboard side?

Thanks,

Same as conventional straight/direct drive.

The V-drive is a trick, you turn the engine around, which switches the
crank rotation, then through the V-drive which then switches the shaft
rotation back.
