I have recently found out that I have been running a cr outbopard for two years in reverse - by using a standard prop. Guy who I bought outboard from rigged it up and it seemed to run fine. Had it serviced this year and found out it was a CR outboard - "L" on the prop shaft. Some say the gear case won't last -others say these outboards have bearings and other parts that allow them to run in reverse. I f I decide to put a left handed prop on - how do I get the control box to make reverse mean forward and vice versa. Lot's of CR props on Ebay - I would like to know how it will run with it set up the way it should. When I ran it in reverse I had it going 47mph and hauled skiers and tube - very light boat. Any comments and directions are welcome

You are a lucky man, most people who have done this blew the lower.
You should be able to just use the other entrance (opposite) of where your shift cable is attached now. -
The net can sure help with problems like this - turns out there is a mercury service bulletin out that tells you that commander 2000 controls will not work with CR outboards - N0 96-14 is the bulletin. We are changing the controls and the prop to counterrotation- will update later.Comment
