I have a BP800 bow thruster and removed the propellers to antifoul them and the tunnel. They are 'handed' I neglected to mark which was the port/starboard prop. I understand that LH & RH are marked on each prop - although I have never seen these markings.

Would anyone be able to advise where the markings are on the propellers. It would save time being able to remove the antifoul from the correct area to uncover the marking rather than having to remove all the antifoul!

Thanks in advance for any help!

Doesn\'t really matter...

If you get them the wrong way round, all you need do is swap over the connections on the electrics.

Just flick the control joystick, see which way the shaft spins. Then fit the props accordingly (I mean, just by looking at the props you can see which way you want them to turn for either given movement of the control joystick)
