Hi
Give us a clue. What boat are you trying to run? what motors/ Engine?? Do you have any pic's of the boat which would help us ?

This might shed some light on the matter.

The missing Fig 3 shows the Stbd prop rotating clockwise and the Port one anti-clockwise, viewed from behind the model. I'll get round to amending it one day!
