View Full Version : Twin prop question
I have twin alpha's on my boat. I just bid on a pair of props for it. My drives are both RH, and after I placed the bid, I realised they were left and right hand rotation. Can I just run one in reverse without damaging the drives, or did I just screw the pooch?

I hear the pooch barkin now
Yep, that's what I found out. Because of the tapered gear, the alpha is only designed to handle the thrust in the forward position. Luckily I was able to retract the bid.
