    Thank you. Not sure if the stock Seakings 120 will accommodate that. Will check. Yes, I have ordered one piece flexshafts left and right for the boat (its a Zonda btw).

      I checked my Seaking programming card and you are correct that you can NOT program the direction so you have to swap any two motor wires (and be sure to have the correct winding direction for each flex shaft).

        No worries. Got confirmed what I thought. Will redo the coloured shrink protection after tuning. Makes it easier to change motors.!

          However, in my case I can't just swap motor leads. I need to also swap the two motor flex collet couplers because one coupler has LH threads and the other has RH threads. This is to keep each collet from coming loose from the counter-rotating motors.
