Are all single engine setups standard rotation?

I have a duo prop setup from a 1996 Pursuit with a Gen V 454ci. I don't want to assume all single engines are standard rotation!

Thx.

All Volvo Penta cone clutch systems (whether stern drive or MS 3, MS 4 etc) are designed to work with standard LH rotation engines.
Volvo Penta has never used a Reverse RH rotation engine.
In other words, all Volvo Penta engines are standard LH rotation.


.
 
In order for there to be an "exception", Volvo Penta would need to redesign all of their transmission cone clutch systems.
The steep spiral cut splines at the interior of the sliding sleeve and of the vertical shaft would need to now be reversed.

As it is, the sliding sleeve will only create engagement with a standard LH rotation engine.
