    Twin Setup Questions

    So I am setting up my H & M Supercat L... twin etti 150's and twin 10xl's

    planning on running each side independant on 4s to start with x447's.. counter rotating.... my questions are:

    Which side of the boat do I want the prop that turns "Clockwise"?

    Also with my ettis... I am planning on running a "y" adapter to the esc's and then to the reciever.... since I my ettis have no bec do I remove the Red wire??? how come if a esc has no bec is there even a red wire... am I supposed to leave it plugged in? I am having a brain cramp here...LOL... I am going to start out running 40c 4s1p for each side, just to fill ya in...

    Thanks for all this is my first twin and have big $ invested and don't want to mess it up before it hits the water... I've had some bad luck lately so figure if I ask more questions maybe I will have less mistakes....

    Counter rotation props should spin inward to each other. Starboard prop counter clockwise, port prop clockwise. With an opto isolated sc you do not need to disconnect the red wire.

        I am actually helping the company's and their vessel's stay in compliance. While they are the ones who deserve the thanks for their efforts and hard work. While I was offshore for a couple days I counted 316 boats of all sizes and types from personal john boats and sportfishing boats, to 300+ ft Offshore Supply Vessels all aiding in the cleanup in one way or another. All of the citizens in the Venice and Buras La. area are the ones who need to be watched upon as they try to salvage what they can. God be with all of them.
