Jim -

TR engine rotates clockwise (as viewed from the front).

The fan pulls air - but that is inherent in the design of a fan.  Even if
you mounted it backwards it would still pull air.

Like the way a nut will thread onto a bolt no matter which side is used
(thanks to Randall for that visually effective example).

BTW - On my tropical I mounted it with the steel 'arms' on the forward side
though I cannot say if that is correct or if it matters.
