I think i'll just swap the 2 shift cables..
I only ran it with the props swapped to see what kind of speed i would lose , then i put them back before i came in ,i did not want encounter any docking problems , the next time i came out it was all changed around .

Yeah, you wouldn't want to get seated and hammer the throttles forward, only to face plant the dash. :)

Did I ever tell you about the time I almost landed my AT in the back of my truck trying to "back" off the trailer (with the installed reversed)? :drink:

It it would have been a Fountain, I'd have needed a new windshield in the truck. :eek:

Personally I like my props turning in. Sure its a bit harder to dock, but at least I have an excuse for when I look like an azzhole trying to back in the slip. If my props were spinning out, and I still cant get it in straight, then, well, I have no excuse! lol
