On Velvet Drive In-Line Transmissions the gear ratio (in forward gear) is marked on trans-

Propeller Rotation
Propeller rotation is not necessarily the same as engine rotation. Refer to the appropriate
following information and drawings for specific information.
IMPORTANT: Use of proper rotation propeller (specified on transmission output
flange rotation decal) is critical since the transmission must be operated in forward
gear selector position only to drive boat forward. If the wrong rotation propeller is
installed and transmission is operated in reverse to propel the boat forward, trans-
mission failure WILL occur.
On engines which are equipped with Velvet Drive in-line, a LH propeller is required.
