Do you guys think that it would cause any problems with the boats handling or anything else to reverse prop rotation. The boat is a stepped hull Donzi 22zx with a single 502 and a Bravo 1. The prop on it now is a right hand rotation. It just seems that so many left hand props are available cheap and I run in pretty shallow water.

Thanks in advance,

Most boats are set up from the factory for a certain rotation. The balance of the boat is set up for the prop torque. I tried left hand rotation on my 24 Pantera after a guy sold me a left hand prop (on accident allegedly) and it was terrible. The boat felt like it was going to roll over!!

You can alway try it and see. Just be slow on the stick and be ready!!

I did this on my 272 baja and it did torque over somewhat. It doesn't hurt anything. Change it over at the shifter though because it's hard to get used to shifting opposite.

I am sure this is un-approate, but I don't know how this all works. I am trying to contact "oldandtired" directly to ask his help with the post where he said he made his own gimble bearing removal tool. How did you slip the washers behind? you must have the engine removed?? And I am not grasping how you make the install tool from the old bearing, I am hoping a reply to your post will trigger you seeing this message, PLEASE email me [email protected]
