I thought I had read somewhere that there was a problem with using the electric motor for reverse. Has anybody been able to solve this as I am thinking of having the outboards controlled remotely and though more expensive using reversing contactors would be much simpler. The other advantage would be that shifting would be smoother and faster.
A quick question for John Paramore if he's online lately, I thought the outboards they use for racing don't have a reversing gearbox so would these work running an electric motor backwards. If so are they readily available and what cost. I guess that's three questions.
Thanks for any help.
