AHA! Now it comes to light. We look at the rotation direction of the prop from the back! Hehe. Thanks David. Fun conversation.

Anytime Jim , anytime ;-)

I'm amazed. All of the Octura props, etc. are Left hand turning unless you specially order a right turning (clockwise) prop and they are not easy to find. Let me get this straight, if you are looking at the prop from the back of the boat, is it turning to the right or the left? Ours are ALWAYS turning to the left.

[davidnieuwland]

Looking at the back of the boat , all props turn left indeed.

But the official way of checking a prop's direction is looking to the front of a boat. So in this case our props turn right/clockwise :-)

[davidnieuwland]

No Jim , the opposite is true however. Our boat's motors all spin clockwise. A motor's direction is always seen looking at the motor with the back bearing plate closest to us , so our motors spin in the clockwise direction meaning to the right.

That's why Graupner K props 2318.xx that are left props always have the L on them like this 2318.45L. These L ( left turning ) props are mostly used for twin motor setups.

[sailrjim]

so you have to set the rotation direction also since our motors turn counter clockwise?

Hi Jim,

The PWM is normally set to 16K and this is the default setting.

Default settings :

*cutoff voltage : no cut off

*trottle options : automatic calibration

*brake options : no brake

*rotor rotation : right hand/clockwise

*timing : 2° for 2-pole motors

*PWM option : 16K

David, good stuff! Do you normally have to set the timing and PWM for your motors as well or is the Etti self sensing in that regard? Do you know what the default settings are on the ETTI 150?
