Transmission / Propeller Rotation
Velvet Drive 5000A - 8 Down Angle Transmission: These transmissions are "full power
reversing" transmissions, allowing a standard (LH rotation) engine to be used for both
propeller rotations. Propeller rotation (output shaft rotation) is determined by shift cable
attachment at the remote control. Be sure to use correct rotation propeller and shift cable
hook up for direction desired.
