Re: counterclockwise rotating flywheel

heres a confession for ya,after a toooo looong day in the boat ,out in the sun and yes,far to many beverages,I docked the boat ,it was low tide and I often like to blow the sand and silt out with prop wash.Well,for some reason,my forward and reverse became backwards.OK ,I was even working on outboards at the time.Shut it down ,went inside to sleep on it (and off).Ok,here was the solution,ya ready,Im,embarrased,its a true story now,here goes.I wa looking at the aft end of the boat ,in my then frame of mind,I can only ASSume,I was pushing the morse single lever forward.(but reverse).Thankfully the lawman didn't stop me.No'I don't boat under influance ANYMORE.The is a GOD
