"Either of these conditions can be corrected by changing the prop."
It is generally not a good idea to run a transmission in reverse all of the time, since with most designs this involves more gears running, and wear that they aren't designed for, but there may be exceptions. If I knew for sure that it was ok with my transmission it sure would open more possibilities in the used prop market for my boat.

What type of throttle does it have? Is there a chance that it is integrated throttle and shift? Straight up and down is neutral. Pushing forward would both shift into forward and progressively throttle up. Pulling aft would shift into reverse and progressively throttle up. The throttle COULD be "reversed" in that pushing forward engages reverse and pulling back engages the forward gear. This can happen 2 different ways. Either the boat has been repowered with an engine or gearbox that spins the shaft opposite. OR, a feathering prop was installed and set up backwards. Either of these conditions can be corrected by changing the prop. Maybe....

I'm 2000 miles from my boat at this time... But the survey person said my throttle is reversed. How would I fix this? Is it likely backwards on the helm side or on the engine side at the carburetor /throttle valve? Why would the PO have it reversed to begin with? I'd like to know in advance of me arriving so I know what kind of task I have ahead of time and tools/parts I might need. I need to sail away within a day of arriving to pick it up and would have one day to repair /reverse it to correct direction ASAP. _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
