Push the outboard's tiller to the left and, why, you'll turn right.


I had my helm replaced a few years ago to try to remove some slop and
they hooked it up so it steered opposite. I only discovered it after
launching for a days outing. You'd think that with conscious effort you
could adapt but it was insidiously difficult, too many years of driving
with a wheel I guess. I didn't run on plane much that day...


You turned your wheel left and the boat turned right? Yikes!
