It also depends on what way your props are turning. Are yours setup to turn inward or outward?

stock as in, turning inward

well add me to the " to much in a rush stupid list ". I ruined the stock right flex shaft do to greasing and installing wrong, as in (L) (R) expanded the cable. Wondered why I lost speed. have new shafts from ose only because they are a little longer at the threaded end so bigger props are no problem. Here is a example I made to help people that get confused on the way (L) and (R) shafts work.[ATTACH=CONFIG]145588[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]145589[/ATTACH]

Your illustration for the cables is right if the props are turning outward. It's the reverse if you have them turning inward fyi. I don't know what way the factory has the props spinning but I have them spinning inward

Yes those pictures are incorrect, the first pic is correct. If you run as in the second picture the flexes will unwind ruining the flexes

I went and checked again and your right, it tightens if pointed up ( so I didn't f up and get it wrong like I thought I did to ruin shaft) checked my gas 1/4 cable, and sure enough it spins up, well OSE has it all wrong then, I didn't tag the shaft in this photo, both spin counter clockwise , it came as in R - Lthumbnail_IMG_1649[2].jpg

Question, I know about 3 phase motors and that by switching 2 of the 3 wires, reverses the motor rotation, I understand same goes in this case, question is can it be any of the 3 wires, like in 3 phase?

Yes...

I'm more confused than anything when it comes to this now. So Lucas first photo labeled as incorrect was the correct way?

Yes, if you want to run your props turning inwards then the first photo is the correct way.
