counterclockwise vs clockwise is obviously a function of the point of view of the observer. The convention is:
looking at the engine/boat from the rear, if the pullies turn clockwise the engine is righthand or "reverse" rotation. The other direction is left hand or "standard" (like a car). Your boat, if stock, turns right and the prop looks like this: 
and a left hand prop looks like this. 
Not dumb at all. Welcome to CCF. |

I believe the stock prop on your boat was a Federal 12 x 14. Here is one on ebay.
Others may chime in on respectable if not better substitutes. Do you not have one at all, or just one that's beat up. If its not too bad, it can be re-done pretty cost effectively. |
