Are you using the old trans ? If so you will need to rotate the pump on the front of the trans .

in a conversation today with beacon bob the topic of single screw engine rotation. According to bob virtually all single screw applications use reversie rotation engines. According to him either directon will propel but for an engineering reason reverse gives better performance.
Go figure, BTW he said I could quote him.

My understanding is, it was economy of scale that lead most boat builders to buy reverse rotation engines for the single screw models. I guess I could be wrong.

I have worked on a lot of boats a normal rotation is the norm on single screw boats . and reverse rotation engines cost more then standard
