OK, take one off, put one on and reverse shift cable at the control. I found this maybe it wil help.
NOT ALL DRIVES CAN COUNTER ROTATE!
The drive must be specifically designed to be a counter rotation drive.
Attempting to run a standard rotation drive in a counter rotation direction
will positively destroy the drive in just a few minutes.
In most applications the RH (standard) drive is mounted on the starboard side.
The LH (counter rotation) drive is mounted on the port side.
The LH drive must have a LH propeller. The LH shift cable must be reversed at the binnacle to pull instead of push
for forward gear. Most controls allow for either direction by simply repositioning
the cable mounting location and attachment.
Always use extreme care when reinstalling the drives that they are properly
installed on the correct side or extreme expensive damage will occur.

to remove and install a standard unit, you put it in fwd gear, that lines up the shifter arm straight on the bell housing and the drive, so it slides off, on a counter-rotating drive that shifter arm should be straight when in reverse, it's easy to check, just look under the bell housing assy. where the shifter arm meets the drive and see when it is straight, thats when you can pull and install the drive.

. I also thought I would be able to go up in pitch size but am still running 19's X 15 1/4 wheels. She ran around 68 before and can't seem to get over 62 now. RH motor is runinng 4800 rpm and the LH is runing 4600 rpm at WOT. Any suggestions???
