It means left or right hand rotation.

When you run twin engines, often times you will counter rotate the props to achieve better balance or handling characteristics. Same prop, but turning the other direction. Some have them both turning in, some have them both turning out yada yada yada.
If you have a single engine, you more than likely have a standard rotation.

So we reverse tribal flame boat owners should run a counter clockwise rotating prop to compliment out graphics? :idea: :D
