For all around use its usually set-up with outward rotation.....inward would give you a little more speed (barely) but your lowspeed handling would suffer around the docks as the propwash would cancel each prop out......

in general.....for the most part most dont bother having the props turn inwards unless they are trying to get every last bit of speed they can out of the boat.

But there are exceptions to this as well.....some boats react better in reguards to carrying the nose when running with the props turning inwards....it wont hurt anything as far as trying it out so i say do it both ways and which way you like it better.

On a TRS application you need to swap the entire drive around with the props.....on a bravo setup you can swap props and move shifters the opposite way...

Does it matter on fishing boats?

ice133,

What direction are you turning them and what kind of mid and WOT performance numbers do you have?

Also, what are your ultimate performance goals?


Thanks
