The vanes will flip to the correct direction in less than 1/2 of the 1st rotation.
Stupid question. but was the belt tight? If it was loose, the seawater pump has the most resistance that it may not turn.

And about the belt...it had about a 1/2" of play in it, and I couldn't rotate anything else before I took it off.

I haven't had a good history with components that just seem to correct themselves. The belt was tight and there wasn’t any oil on the pulleys, just debris from the belt.
Thanks for all the info and help...
