All you Perkins folks, please advise. Also, does a Left Hand rotation mean the same thing as counter-clockwise viewed from stern?

Thanks.
I have a 4 108 from 1980 (there are different versions of the 4 108) though I doubt that they would rotate in different directions.

I have a left hand prop which means my engine rotates...... um...... It's late and I haven't slept much lately. That's what that means.
