I finaly tried it on my Bullet............It sucks ! ....Boat just did'nt feel good at any speed.....Nothing major just not near the great handling im used to...Docking ? Forget about it !!! With the blowers surging you can't crank the wheel fast enough !!
Top Speed ? maybe a couple.....But i know i can't run the big stuff with any confidence........Maybe a calm lake boat...NOT a boat that sees Erie all the time. Here me Thrillseeker ??!!

Before you change anything you might want to post a picture of the back of your boat showing the props, drives, and everything else. A change in drives might also mean a change in the way the shifter cables are hooked up.

O.K. Wheeling out the chaulk board (now pay attention)
You are sitting at your desk or what ever and you are spinning your arms around like props. You now look over your shoulder to make sure no one saw you acting like your crotch was on fire
It had nothing to do with driving the boat

This thread is back again in 2015! Occasionally I read something online from 2007-2012 and think "this is outdated". Glad google pointed me to an OSO thread from 2003.
I just winterized today and heard about swapping props to make docking easier. Can't wait to try it out!

Ok, at the expense of laughter, I have to ask. Been racking my brain on if my props on on correctly. Baja 35 Outlaw, twin 525s, Bravo 1s, Maximus 5 blades. LH rotation was on port and RH on starboard when I bought boat from original owner. That means water being thrown to outsides of boat and believe that's the correct way from factory. Today, some how RH is on port and LH is on starboard, believe that means water thrown to inside. I'm only getting 4800 WOT. If the props are truly flip flopped, would that compromise performance, create strain, etc? I have to get things right before I drill into cavitation plates to install drive showers. Welcome thoughts and comments, TIA.
