pinpoint trolling motor 3700 , help

[todd willimann]

I got this pinpoint 3700 on craigslist for $250.
completed the install on my pontoon
I have not fired it up yet. I have copies of the install manual and ops. manual, it says nothing about the motor going the opposite way from the keyboard. In the pictures it shows the prop on the same side as the led display. Mine is backwards.
Question: when I set the straight ahead for the first time, will the motor turn itself around?, or did I get screwed?
Thanks, Todd

Somebody probably used it as stern mount which would have required turning it around so it pushed instead of pulled. Fire it up and see.

If it is backwards, remove the screws and turn the head 180 degrees. No you did not get screwed.
