why does correct craft turn props rh rotation

Is that why tires only go flat on the bottom?

Ever wonder why Cranes have long legs?
So they can reach the ground!

Do vegetarians eat animal crackers?

Let me see what I can do..

Mr. Ralph will make you feel like a best friend as soon as you shake hands with him. I met him once and won't forget it. His signature will be on proud display at the Chattahoochee run!     

The water level here at Lanier is in the middle of a law suit that's almost 20 years old.   

Happily we are only 6.46 feet low and that is so much nicer than where we were last year at 20'+ and we have been getting the rain that seemed to go somewhere else this year.

You know when a train goes around a corner, everyone has to lean against the side of the train on the inside of the curve. Does that work with boats?    

What if you're on an uphill lake?

So, with a RH rotation prop it would lift the drivers side being the driver is the only one in the boat at the time. Correct Craft eventually moved the steering wheel to the right of the boat and by that time the hulls were sophisticated enough to accept the RH rotation even with the helm on the right side of the boat. It's been a CC tradition and just stuck apparently. (I heard this from a maloon I believe...) If any of you disagree or heard anything else please don't be afraid to let me know, this is just what I heard!!

Port side helms on old CC's??? Billy is correct that prop rotation and helm position has been discussed at length. Briefly, it's due to the flywheel forward position of the old marinized engines that need a RH prop.

Not...........
This topic has been beat to death more than one time. Do a search on Reverse Rotation and a lot of info will appear.
It started way before the Maloons and their first boat in 1927..

David, prop rotates to the right, driver sits on the right. The "down force" created by the prop turning RH makes the hull lean to the left.

I try to always promote testing/checking. Before you go and get a starter "thinking" it's the problem:

Battery volts/condition?

Cables/terminals condition?

Voltage across starter relay (solenoid)?

If you need some help with doing some of these checks, we'll be around and always happy to help.

Welcome to the site.

well, around these days I've been riding in kristof's '89 sn and he has a 351 lh paired to a 1.23 tranny...my bet is that you have the same rig...

Check your transmission tag. If 1 to 1 =RH    If 1 to 1.23 = LH

back to the program, I guess im stirred up and the reason is on the 4th I ran into a guy at our local parade, he lives within walking distance of my house, I sorta knew he was my friends brother, not a close friend, but a friend. I told him you look like your brother, and he replied, you see that guy over there? I said yes, He was the only one out of 5 that survived hitting the side of the barge at approximately 60 miles an hour that night, it was his bachlor party...not a ski boat, but it was a boat... the point, would you buy a car without airbags? probably not, because you want to increase your odds of survival if you do get into an accident and one other point on motorcycles, another friend would bragg to me on how safe he was on a motorcycle, been riding for 20 years, no helmet blah blah, got clipped from the side....accidents happen, thats why they are called accidents, you cant control accidents but you can control stupidity, probably a harsh word but it fits.
too add, believe me In my early 30's I thought the same way, case of beer on the boat, lake patrol always flagging me down, and if i was a closer friend to the guy above I probably wouldve of been right next to him egging him on to go faster

A cork or a front seal?    

We heard at least 1 trans job in the making on the way home from the fireworks. Everyone turning north was following 1 boat that should have been in a dock somewhere. We scooted in front and showed him where the channel was. Beat everyone up here back by 10-12 minutes...pumpkin power!

I agree with you Eric, most of the guys here need no spotters...however most of the "Weekend Idiots", dont even have a clue anymore!

BTW, I love that LG picture .... you can tell how responsible WE Pro's are! ehhh?

BTW, Donzi-Boy want you to pay for his screw up?

i need a fckin hug, i got a Donzi back with a rod through the oil pan, the owner claims he didnt take it over 2800 and he heard a ticking
