MS / MSB Gear selection position
For the Volvo MS/MSB, does anyone know what gear (forward or reverse) the transmission is in when the eccentric piston (#56) is forward, or astern?

Re: MS / MSB Gear selection position
One reason that I wanted to know the correct position of the gear selector is so that I could make sure I ordered the correct propeller (left or right handed). So, I think I've convinced myself that the propeller should indeed be a left hand prop for the Volvo MD7A + MS + Walter V-drive. As far as I can tell, looking at the output shaft rotation from the MS & V-drive, this drawing is correct. If anyone knows that i got something wrong, please let me know.

Re: MS / MSB Gear selection position
It looks correct to me. I have a morse single lever control and when I push it forward(to go forward) it pushes the shift lever on the gearbox aft with the v-drive or towards the flywheel
