tripple engine setup

-how do you set up prop rotation on tripple outboard vessels? i know twin props counter roatate and i assume quad propellers do the same(2 left 2 right), but how do you set up the roatation for 3 equall horsepower outbaords?

-thanks, puzzled helmsman

Yamaha has (or had) dual prop legs that basically cures all ills. You're trying to counteract torque steer and "paddlewheeling". If your two outer motors are countering eachother, you should have no more torque steer than you would with a single.
