what would happen if?????
you put a right hand rotation prop on a LH rotation motor??
|
.....depends on which way the drive/shifter was set up to run.
|
forward would now be reverse and rev would be forward.Think backwards.
|
so for sure it would spin backwards without question? if the motor says LH and the prop says RH you will go backwards in forward.
this is what i was thinking, but im not sure if its correct. so u say yes. 1 for correct. anyone beg to differ? |

On alot of shift mechanisms it can be flip-flopped just like JaayTee said. It therefore doesnt really matter what the respective rotations are in many instances, just how it is set up to shift. For instance, I once had a single engine cat that
I was trying props on. I tried at least one that was opposite the rotation of my drive. Prop was tested with shifter in reverse position. If I had liked that prop I could have ordered the same prop in reverse rotation or switched how my cables shifted. When a boat owner with twins try's "spinning them in" or "spinning them out" thay are going through this same process. They are swapping the props from one side to the other and changing how the boat shifts. |

If it's a transmission boat TRS, NXT, SSM, the drive determines the rotation. If it's a Bravo, the shift cable position at the shifter at the helm determines the rotation. If installed incorrectly on a transmission boat, transmission damage can occur, and the shifter will operate backwards. If installed on a bravo, with the shifter set up for r/h rotation it will go forward when the shifter is in forward If installed on a bravo with the shifter set up for l/h rotation, it will travel in reverse in the forward shifter position. |
This happened on my Dads Checkmate. He thought he would use a prop from his 81 Checkmate on his 98 'mate and apparently the shafts spun opposite. We went backwards when we tried to go forwards.

If now the motor stay's and the drive says LH and u would go the other way with the same PROP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just to clarify what u are talking ,,,,drive ???? or engine ????? Sorry JT ,,just seen u posted that already !! |

You failed to mention what type of drive it was.
