    What kind of transmission do you have. Some can be run either way, so all you need is to re-route the shifter cable.

    Ok..found a tidbit:

    I have a right-hand propeller but need a left-hand. Can it be changed?

    Sorry, no. Propeller hand (rotation) cannot be changed. A right-hand propeller is a mirror image of a left-hand propeller. Even if it were possible to mount the propeller backwards on the propeller shaft (not possible on tapered shafts), the propeller would still have the blades angled for the originally designed rotation.
