Default Swapping Props on Bravo 1 Drives?

I want to swap my props to see if spinning them in our out is faster on my 1994 Cigarette TOP GUN. That means that I would have to run the boat in reverse to go forward. Would this damage the bravo 1 drive?

nope, they dont care which way the turn.

if it like it better, you can change the location that the cable attaches to the shifter and not have to buy new props.

I have always ran our straight bottom top gun with props spinning in. Improved speed and does not effect docking as much as everyone says....

What speed are you getting out of your Top Gun? How much HP and what props are you using?
