Re: Possible prop spun

How does it do in forward. Outboard Props are designed to deliver thrust forward. Reverse thrust is just a by-product of forward blade pitch and is usually not very efficient.

The prop operates fine in forward. Ive owned OMC and mercury and never hade an engine that will not reverse. I Know that reverse will not be like forward but this prop moves my aluninum boat in reverse with no power<br /><br />Shawn
