I had the same problem with my Cobra. I don't understand what you mean when you say it turns clockwise in reverse? Does it turn by hand and never lock into gear? If so it's more than likely the transom shift cable. Read this site and it will give you lot's of answers.<br /><br /> http://www.funkopolis.com:8080/~stuart/cobra/

JSAN...myabe you could go back to the begining, the ESA module has nothing to do with what direction the prop shaft turns, it's sole purpose in life is to slow the engine rpm's down to make shifting in and out of gear easier.
