I just have the impression that some marine gears are built to run both
ways - so that props in dual engine configurations can be made to turn in
opposite directions. In other words: I'm not talking about REPLACING the
transmission but changing the rotation by basically exchanging forward
with
reverse...

..or is this nonsens...? :-)

Nope, not nonsense, but may not be true of all transmissions. My 52 foot
Navigator, powered by twin Volvo diesels is set up with one transmission
running in reverse, compared to the other transmission. I've forgotten the
transmission types, but they are made in Italy and are common on larger
boats and yachts.
