cudaxtreme - looks very similar. See my post above to solve the random spinning problem.

Just notice an error in my earlier post, so I'll retype:

I think I've solved the problem of the impellor sometimes running the wrong way. When it does this, it makes the propellor lift as the water is now pushing out the back. By placing a stop just in front of the prop it runs freely when the props going the right way. When the prop runs the wrong way, it lifts slightly, hits the stop and then starts spinning the other (correct) way. Make sense? All this happens in a split second. Needs to be incorporated into the guard/housing which is where I've got to at the moment.
