    Coupler size help

    I'm new to boating needles to say. I'm having a marvelous time understanding coupler sizes. I need a coupler for the following setup.

    Motor shaft: 5mm
    Flex shaft: 4mm

    So I'll need a coupler that's 5mm to 4mm flex shaft is this correct? Is that sold here? Can someone point me out?

    Thanks and happy 2023

          Awesome thanks. So just for learning purposes what is positive rotation and negative rotation when purchasing a coupler?

          I know it's the direction the drive system rotates. But which is which? Positive = clockwise?

          Sorry for the noob questions.

              Never heard of the right hand rule. I guess it works. Sounds quite confusing. Look at the boat from the back. Looking at the transom. Standard rotation is ccw. If you are running twins then you need a reverse wound flex cable and a prop usually designated with a R at the end of its size. Both are appropriate cw rotation. Actually quite simple.
