So... you have to get transmissions that can accomplish the rotational direction change.... I know on SSM's the prop rotation is accomplished in the drive itself. Same with Bravos... but Bravos don't have a trans.... just a slippery cone clutch...:D

They have twin disc MG 502 transmissions. I assume it comes either way.

Cuda, look closely at your trans where the shift cables hook up and there different the way they hook up. Paul

Reed, regarding step hulls, I understand that they do not require as much bow lift to run fast since they have the steps. Therefor, rocker is not needed as much as it is in straight hull application.

This is only my understanding.

If for some reason you decide not to use them, drop me a line. Also, if you need new boots for them, order them now! I called Archer yesterday. They won't have any for 8 weeks, I put my name on the waiting list.

Cuda...... The TD502 is a fully reversable tranny. So if you wanted to reverse the rotation you only need to play with the cable mount.

(fyi. On my cat I've got them spinning inwards)

AND IF THIS HELPS AT ALL............ I have a copy of the 1985/85 Options from Wellcraft if you were to order a boat........... The KAAMA package was offered on the 30Panther, 30ScarabII, 30ExcaliburCat, and 38KV.
