With people and with shops you learn good ones from bad ones when things go south.
If this shop stands up and fixes your issues as promised they are a class shop. If not throw them under the bus.

I doubt they ran it long enough to do any damage to anything. It was never able to engage the clutches since the pump couldn't pump anything.

If anything would be affected it would be the pump gears but they're really quite robust and there would have been residual oil coating everything in the pump.

I don't ever remember anybody having a problem after reorienting the pump (or in your case, I guess you'd say reorienting the engine)

It sounds like you should try to get something in writing from Tommy's that if the transmission fails within some agreed upon period of time, the fix is on them for peace of mind

Ian,
I too highly doubt there's any damage to the trans. The gears don't care which way they turn for ether rotation. Indexing the pump is just positioning the front housing to line up the fluid inlet and outlet. With a wrong indexing, there's still fluid around the gears, it just won't pump to build the pressure.

Carnac knows all.. I agree that much discussion is forthcoming, ideas batted about and options presented. Dollars weighed against practicality and measured with emotion. All while the short clock of a Colorado summer is tick tick ticking away. What will transpire?

LOL Ken and probably right on..

Ian better go in with plenty of info about how the hulls are designed for RH rotation and the adverse affects of converting it to LH.

Looking at Tommy's website, I get the impression they are more sport equipment oriented than boat service. The majority of their team members are shown out on the water.

Ian,
As mentioned, it is highly recommended to not accept a LH prop.

When you discussed the rotation problem with them, did the "tech" bring up trans pump indexing or did you have to tell them what it is?

One short summer waiting for the "right" engine or 20 summers dealing with a left and engine?

I'd wait. It takes 20% of my weight full port just to balance a 2001 with a RH prop.

Well this turned out to be an challenge! I would also insist on the correct rotation motor. I would calmly explain that this is their business and problem to correct. If they refuse or try to shift responsibility to your "not ordering the correct motor", I would get an attorney involved. I am sure this is not an inexpensive installation. Why should you settle for less? Sure am sorry for your troubles. I thought we would be skiing by now.

Shop just called. They said that the talked to the engine supplier, and there was some miscommunication and that reverse rotation engines are becoming phased out and less popular, so they are more expensive and harder to get...

So they said they will pull the transmission and re-index and get a different prop on there.

I said ok, that's fine with me - but I am not going to pay for the prop or parts, or labor for this.
Then the service rep said he isn't sure they can do that.......

I guess I'm gonna have to head over there and have a chat with the manager before I go get my blood pressure up and raise hell.

Hi Ian

Carnac also says that whichever direction you decide to go with this you should make sure the dealer has the water pump hoses on correctly. for the engine rotation.


Here's a picture with the 454 pump on the right showing the reverse rotation hose hookup, and if you go with normal rotation the 2 hoses would have to be swapped on the pump

And for a little reading, here's an old thread about a 2001 hull with a LH 454.

Nobody was terribly concerned about balance and handling, seems it was a boat that was built by a CC distributor(New England CC) with the LH engine

I'd go with whatever works out the best for you when you talk to Tommy's

Make them buy you a Prop and a 1.23:1 transmission conversion? Or even if they will participate some that would solve your transmission issue and prop rotation issue for close to the same money would would be paying for a new or rebuilt transmission anyways?

Someone around here would buy your big block trans as a core I am sure,

I used to be an emotional decision maker when I was younger. Found that to be a bad idea. Not anymore.

Colorado summer's clock is not really a factor either for now. I don't ski colorado lakes on weekends (gotta avoid that circus) and my current schedule has me working a normal 9-5 for a couple more months, I'm normally a shift worker with lots of weekdays off.

If it was a super original boat having a LH engine instead of the RH engine cuts the value in half IMHO. Having a LH engine with a LH prop in even a modified boat means someone was willing to cut corners to save money. Either way not what you wanted which was a nice boat with a rebuilt engine installed at a marina which would have been a positive over an original engine. The 1:23:1 transmission option wouldn't be terrible, but its a new trans, new shaft and a new prop which is a quick 2500 (maybe 17 to a dealership) so reasonably unlikely they will go for it - I would probably offer it to them though.    If you are not selling anytime soon value is not really important but having had both a LH and RH 2001 I can tell you I much prefer it RH as I no longer feel the need to drive from the passengers seat on a regular occasion.

Yea Ken I too thought of someone plumbing the LH engine as RH and instantly overheating it. I think I even posted something then deleted it.

Has the pump already been run in the wrong direction? Is the circulator pump bi-directional.

The answer lies in the link, complete with a price

And the circ pump has only one part number RA057019 for LH or RH

PCM rear mount LH starter was RA122009

rear mount RH was RA122008

Again, do not accept the LH prop "solution". I'm with the others

A good negotiating point would be that you had to tell them what they did wrong.

I said something to the service rep about the wrong engine causing the transmission "problem" and the rep argued with me saying that's not how that works, and the tech (standing behind the rep) leaned in and confirmed that I was right, and then mentioned that the transmission could be reindexed to match the engine.

After much research, including calling Correct Craft directly, and engine manufacturers, as well as people who have run similar boats with both OEM and non OEM opposite rotation engines in the same boats, I have elected to convert to LH.

I have taken all of your advice, expertise, and opinions into consideration - and I am truly grateful for all the assistance, you all saved me from the shop's huge error.

Once I have the boat back I'll post the official outcome.

Your not saved by their error yet if you go against what was originally in that boat. Doubtful that anyone a consumer could contact at Correct Craft would even have any knowlege of a boat using a right hand engine. A BFN is alot different boat than a flat bottom Nautique. Art Cozier would be the guy to ask. You might also contact Jody at Florida Inboards,run it past him and see what he thinks. In the end it's your boat not mine,you need to do whats right for you.
