Also, what model are you running?

Yep, just move the shifter cable from the bottom to the top on one side, and opposite on the other. It is very clear once you look under the dash at the current config.

It is easiest to remove the 4 screws that hold the shifter assembly to dash and lift out far enough to get to the cables. It's a 10 min job. Might try the swap, I lost no speed.

Mine is a 32'.

Thanks for the heads up, weather permitting I will give it a try this week. BTW what kind of power are you running and is your 32 a stepped or unstepped hull? I am told the speed difference is significant on the step and not so on the normal bottom. My 29 is a new step hull.

Looked at the shifter system, no problem to change it in position just like you said. Before I do tha I will just switch props and shift backwards to see what gives with the speed and handling. Let you know what happens.
