I would think that the impellers are deisgned to spin only one way but i am not positive. I know you can not spin a Hayward Super Pump backwards lol.

There was one member on here who got his to spin the other direction, but he machined a new impeller to do it.

Seems like it would just be easier to go with electric pump if you're wanting it to sping backwards. This is for a twin engine boat im assuming?
