That's how I did it, just reverse the motor. Not that I run in reverse much or long or at high speed. One problem is that the motor isn't locked down and the leg pivots up in reverse. But somehow I ended up removing the shifter in the conversion (I forget why) so that's my only option.

========================
I'm very interest in knowing an answer to this question as well. Also has anyone ever used a lower unit through the hull as a POD propulsion unit. I'm considering how I might do this and what kind of modifications might be required to a lower unit. And then I would use electric motors to drive the units from within the hull.

Sorry if I put my two cents in (my question) within another question, first time I have ever commented on this group.

I am just starting my outboard conversion and, while things are apart, have a question about forward/reverse.
Is it OK to fix the lower end in one direction, forward for example, and reverse the motor for direction change?
My preference is to fix the lower end in forward and reverse with the motor direction. But I am not sure how well the lower end will hold up with that operation.
