[Electric Boats] propeller direction

 

sorry for multiple posts - i can't seem effectively proofread my own writing. here goes...

I am about to upgrade our 2-blade, 12" dia x only 5"(?)pitch prop with a 12" dia by either 13" or 14" pitch prop, as has been recommended by several of you. any other thoughts on that? the boat is a 27' sloop. the current setup does fine in normal conditions, but is weak in strong currents.

today's question: does it matter with an electric motor whether i buy a R or L direction prop? forward is currently a LEFT-hand twist, but the setup runs more smoothly and quietly spinning RIGHT (clockwise, as viewed from behind). can't i simply reverse my F/R switch and use a RIGHT-hand prop instead, or are there other considerations - motor - PMAC controller - or others, that i am not considering?

thanks! (again)
