Silly Question

Just wondering really, if Taz buys that counter rotating engine why does he have to change it for a normal box?
Can't you just run with it as it is?
Surely it would only pull left rather than right or is there another reason why you only run a right hander on a mono hull?

i think some counter rotating boxes have no reverse and arent as strong as right handers .

Id have to buy a left handed prop which i dont want or i could run it in reverse but then the box doesnt have the right bearings in etc to run that fast in reverse so it would prob blow. I only want it with a right hander not only that re sale value will be better
