why does correct craft turn props rh rotation

what part of the river is the reunion? ive read mention of lake george area--is at the glen?
i used to get invites/tickets to the sea world event but didnt get them last year probably due to the brand change at southeast cc--
i'm about 10 minutes from where intersate 4 crosses the river so i frequent the areas north & south of lake monroe

Thanks Tim for saving me the trouble of going into my Photobucket. Is that where you got the picture from or did you just find it on the site? If you did...find it here...thats a pretty good job. I wouldn't have known how to look it up.

79...gone but not forgotten...kinda miss him at times.

I gotta agree with the good dr...you don't wanna miss any of the Reunions but the River Run was a special time.

From the 1989 Correct Craft Brochure:


I dont see how anyone can argue that the RH prop makes no difference. My '90 rides perfectly level at skiing speeds with just the driver aboard. Add a spotter and they better be sitting closer to the middle than the edge of the seat, or the boat will lean to port. Many states (and countries) have laws that require an observer- but many, including Florida (the home state of Correct Craft and the waterski capital of the world) do not.

There are many states that would disagree with you, as not all of them have laws requiring spotters. Florida is one of them! The large mirrors on today's boats make it easy to keep an eye on your skier- I usually know whats going on with mine before my observers do. Regardless, its much easier to ski without an observer than it is to ski without a driver! That weight on the starboard side is never going away.

WOW, somebody needs a hug.

You guys are nuts ...going out with only a driver... I ALWAYS try to get 6 or 8 spotters when I go! As they say... there's saftey in numbers!!!     

i need a fckin hug, i got a Donzi back with a rod through the oil pan, the owner claims he didnt take it over 2800 and he heard a ticking

I agree with you Eric, most of the guys here need no spotters...however most of the "Weekend Idiots", dont even have a clue anymore!

BTW, I love that LG picture .... you can tell how responsible WE Pro's are! ehhh?

BTW, Donzi-Boy want you to pay for his screw up?

A cork or a front seal?    

We heard at least 1 trans job in the making on the way home from the fireworks. Everyone turning north was following 1 boat that should have been in a dock somewhere. We scooted in front and showed him where the channel was. Beat everyone up here back by 10-12 minutes...pumpkin power!

back to the program, I guess im stirred up and the reason is on the 4th I ran into a guy at our local parade, he lives within walking distance of my house, I sorta knew he was my friends brother, not a close friend, but a friend. I told him you look like your brother, and he replied, you see that guy over there? I said yes, He was the only one out of 5 that survived hitting the side of the barge at approximately 60 miles an hour that night, it was his bachlor party...not a ski boat, but it was a boat... the point, would you buy a car without airbags? probably not, because you want to increase your odds of survival if you do get into an accident and one other point on motorcycles, another friend would bragg to me on how safe he was on a motorcycle, been riding for 20 years, no helmet blah blah, got clipped from the side....accidents happen, thats why they are called accidents, you cant control accidents but you can control stupidity, probably a harsh word but it fits.
too add, believe me In my early 30's I thought the same way, case of beer on the boat, lake patrol always flagging me down, and if i was a closer friend to the guy above I probably wouldve of been right next to him egging him on to go faster

Check your transmission tag. If 1 to 1 =RH    If 1 to 1.23 = LH

well, around these days I've been riding in kristof's '89 sn and he has a 351 lh paired to a 1.23 tranny...my bet is that you have the same rig...

I try to always promote testing/checking. Before you go and get a starter "thinking" it's the problem:

Battery volts/condition?

Cables/terminals condition?

Voltage across starter relay (solenoid)?

If you need some help with doing some of these checks, we'll be around and always happy to help.

Welcome to the site.

David, prop rotates to the right, driver sits on the right. The "down force" created by the prop turning RH makes the hull lean to the left.

Not...........
This topic has been beat to death more than one time. Do a search on Reverse Rotation and a lot of info will appear.
It started way before the Maloons and their first boat in 1927..
