    is it best to have your props turn in opposit directions if you are ruming two at the same time? and is it better if they are turning outward or inward?

    having them spin opposite of each other is good. Keeps the ship running strait. As for outward or inward. That I can not say. I have run it both ways.

    I think the "propper way" is to have them run outward from the hull in forward

    The starboard one should be clockwise. Port counter clockwise.
