The Mirage drive is easy to flip around to go forward or backward -- but you do have to flip it around. It's not like the pedal system that can go either way.
The only hitch is the pedals are going to be a little awkward in the direction they are not set up for.
I'm going to set the pedals up to push the pontoon, but I will be able to flip the unit and go forward if necessary -- though I'd probably just row if I needed to move forward a bit to, say, go unsnag my popper from the shore while bass fishing.
I went and looked at mounting material and decided to go with 1" square aluminum instead of round tubing as my mounting material. I bought an 8' piece for $14 at metal mart.
I think the square stuff will be easier to work with and the mirage drive wants flat mounting surfaces front and back anyway.
I think the single 8' section will be enough aluminum to complete the mount.
Now to find a pontoon.....
