🔍 Key Concepts

• How a right-hand vs left-hand propeller is defined • From which standard viewpoint mariners describe propeller rotation • What clockwise means when talking about a propeller on a vessel’s shaft

💭 Think About

• Imagine standing at different positions around the vessel and looking at the propeller—at which position would rotating to the right (like tightening a screw) be called clockwise? • Think about how engineers and mariners usually look at rotating machinery on a shaft: do they look along the shaft from the front or from the back? • If the engine is pushing the vessel forward, in which viewing position would a right-hand propeller appear to turn like a normal right-hand screw going into wood?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on where you are standing relative to the vessel: bow (front), stern (back), port (left side), starboard (right side) • Visualize the propeller as a right-hand screw on the shaft and which way it turns when driving the ship ahead • Check which viewpoint is the standard reference in seamanship for naming propeller hand (right or left)
