What is your set up? Is there a thrust bearing to consider or is the motor belt driven to a shaft?

Subject: [Electric Boats] propeller direction
here's one for you all. i am about to upgrade our 2-blade, 12" dia x 5 (?) pitch prop with a 12 x 13" or 14, as has been recommended by several of you. any other thoughts? 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 really 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 have it be a left-hand setup, or are there other considerations - motor - PMAC controller - that i am not considering.
thanks! (again)
