[Electric Boats] propeller direction

 


here's one for you all. 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 really 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 left. can't i simply reverse my switch and use a left-hand prop instead, or are there other considerations - motor - PMAC controller - or others, that i am not considering.

thanks! (again)
