On the Biggus "Top Gun" the starboard wheel spins clockwise and the port wheel spins counter, that would
be "out" correct. I belive spinning "in" is best generally for high X's, Cats and surface drive boats.

strainers clogged ?, or freshwater flush vibrate open? if there is any leak even very slight before the pump it wont pull water. unfortunately i learned this the hard way.... hence why i changed a pump at the ramp lol

I had swapped drives to spin in and out many times. I really like how it ran spinning in but docking manners were rather poor when spun in.
