Can this really run reverse? Some boats cannot.

Yes, it will run reverse, but it hardly moves the boat, it tries to sink it more than move it. The rudder is also useless in reverse. However, it might get you out of a rut if not stuck bad.

I don't know...the propeller fell off before it went 2 yards! My other cheaper boats from Toys or Us all had reverse.

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.

I does have reverse air. There is a switch on the head plate to change the flow.

Although you may be able to reverse polarity to reverse the pump most pumps are design to flow only one direction without burning up the thrust on the inboard or outboard seal.

Yes it does reverse. Not sure of the exact speed, similar to the forward driving speed.

No it doesn't have enough torque, need about 500 to 700ft lbs. Of reverse torque.

The only way to reverse would be to swap the hoses. From what I have noticed with mine is that it has a diaphram pump action that pulls the fuel into the intake and then pushes out the other side.

Yes. They are regular DC motors so switching the negative and positive around will reverse the direction of the motor.

The trigger on the remote has a position for reverse but the boat does not reverse

You can't, really. It does move backwards unless there is something to keep it from doing so.

yes, the machine can be driven both forwad and reverse without engaging the tines.

your power leads from the battery are reversed! a dc motor like whats in the boat will run forward or reverse by simply changing the polarity of the leads!

It will not run unless submerged in water. If I remember correctly, it says that in the manual.

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.

Yes, if the boat is not anchored in a current or subject to high wind. I use mine (a 16' center console bow rider) in the Hudson River and only have a problem if the wind is blowing in the same direction as the current.

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

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