Default Question about counter rotating props...

Somebody at my marina decided to play a practical joke on me and
swapped the props on my Contender - I have counter rotating outboards.

Here's the question: What effect would this have caused?

My thinking is that if I had put the boat into reverse the boat would
go forward and vice versa.


That should be the most obvious result, but you'd also go from inboard
turning to outboard turning, or vice versa, which has handling affects.
(hope I'm visualizing this correctly)

But I'm not really sure.

Any thoughts?

Oh and I know who the practical joker is - he has a Century and I'm
thinking of what I can do in return. :


eg switch his throttle/shift cables
