I don't mean to get in the middle of this, but there is no provision at the shift bracket on the engine to change the rotation. As cramped as the helm end is, that is where the direction is switched. As h2owarrier says, you do want to confoirm the adjustment. If you just want to test, switch the props and run it in reverse, but be careful! This only works on a Bravo, not a TRS or speedmaster.

Sorry for the confusion 
I went back and looked at the manual (wrote the initial post from bad memory). Just another good reason to have (actually use) the manual.

I'll be replacing my trs drives in little while, was wondering which way you guys think i should have the props spin--towards center or to outside? I don't have any experience with either way considering just bought the boat and haven't really driven it yet. Just would rather not have to pull the boat back out after launching it

del - I'm new to this stuff too, but I believe it really depends on type of boat and personal preference. The boat will handle differently depending on rotation and only testing will tell for sure. I have a 30' cat and changing the rotation made it feel like a completely different boat!
You may want to start a new thread asking for help. Make sure to include info about the boat and the type of hull. Someone may have a similar set-up that can save you some work and testing.
Good Luck!
