Reverse on this boat?

Hi. This boat does not reverse. It is also somewhat fragile and did not survive 11 year old. Just FYI.

Description does say this can be used front or back (bow/transom) of boat and without digging out the owner's manual I would guess the answer is yes, you can rotate the lower unit for front of boat use. I can say (not sure how good or bad for motor/battery) that hooking the cables up backwards WILL make the unit operate in reverse...ooops

There's a YouTube video on how to bypass the water safety switch. Apparently, the switch mal-functions, leaving your boat stuck, dead in the water. Bypassing ends the problem.

No, it does not have reverse. There are times when "reverse" would be nice but if you compare the other features to the price, you are getting a great deal. The boat is a lot tougher than you would think.

No, it threads on clockwise and spins freely while coasting or backpedaling

My grandson has not fished with it yet. It is an awesome rc boat. He and my husband love it. It goes quite fast. Not sure about the reverse. Sorry I was not much help

It won't hurt the motor to try it, but you can probably mount the fan backards to reverse the flow as well.

yes, it can be reversed - it comes all disassembled so that you can place the handle or back rest on either side.

No reverse.You have to release the forward drive lever and then push slightly forward to disengage the drive system, then pull back manually. That works ok but the machine is fairly heavy for a lot of backing.

if a big size fish! yes, It will be flipped. the trick is to keep you finger next to fishing line? keep your eye on the bopper? go up and down same for the boat.

Yes! This machine has a reverse with a push of a button. It is a great machine.

I don't see why not. You would simply turn it around and install it in reverse.

Its got a small tracking rudder on the bottom, but that really doesn't do a whole lot. Unless you're perfectly in sync with the other rower, you're going to turn a lot. Biggest downside to this canoe.

User error. I had committed the same error. The skegs on the bottom must be in the rear of the kayak. In my maiden voyage I was thinking, "geez, this thing won't go straight. It sucks." Got out, looked underneath, and realized I had placed the seats in backwards: the skegs were facing forward. I turned the seats around and went back out. Worked like a charm and tracked straight and true.

Just play around with the console, you'll get the hang of it easy enough. you won't screw it up. as far as peddling backwards, I only know it will without resistance. I'll check tonight if I can peddle backwards with resistance levels.

This item did not work for me at all. So, I don't know if it will work in reverse. Sorry.

I bought one of these for a boat lift. It can be wired to run either direction but is not readily reversable through a switch. Because of that I sent mine back.
