Volvo Penta MD 3B Help

I have a Volvo Penta MD 3B in the process to install in the boat. I can't find what the rotation direction of the prop. When I turn the fly wheel clockwise (looking from the front of the engine) the prop flange turns R if the control level (Reverse/ Forward) is turned clockwise looking from the top of the engine.



If one looks from the top of the engine, the control level turned counterclockwise means forward or reverse?


Thanks for any help

I don't think you are going to get much of a response to your question. Not clear what you are asking. Can you provide pictures or diagrams?
Regards

You'll need a LH propeller for your Volvo. All other engines use RH.

Alberto, you posted a message about a seized MD2B that might still be good for parts. Is that engine still available?
