Props for chainsaw engine
If I want to use a poulan chainsaw engine for a boat, are there not any props that are available that rotate in the correct direction. Iv been told that they turn the "wrong way".

There are plenty of props that are counter rotating. Propshop make most sizes in a counter rotating match. Voodoo props also have a few on offer.
You will also need to buy a counter rotating flex cable as a standard cable will fail in seconds spinning the wrong direction.

Put a flex collet on the recoil shaft and put a starter pulley on the clutch shaft. Then you can buy a std rotation prop.
you can also modify a recoil system to start the chainsaw on the clutch shaft. or do one of each and make a boat with twins!
