I am 
on this one. Most NEW electric motors come with the prop facing one way and the control handle facing the other.
I just bought the Maximum 40. As mentioned, unbolt under head and turn, make sure wires are out of the way in the whole and put bolt back and tighten.
I prefer the head and prop facing the same direction, cause It will perform better PULLING you. I have all the forward controls to pull me, but I can go forward if I need to(in the reverse mode). I also set it in one direction and use my feet or flippers to steer.
I know allot of people mount them on the front and steer with them so they don't need to get their feet wet. I fly fish so no way do I want that motor in front of me.
Just remember, you will get more out of PULLING than PUSHING. Pontoons aren't set up like a boat.
