Looking down at the top of the engine the flywheel turns clockwise. The engine may run either direction at idle or low RPM but will not run at backwards moderate to high RPM. Be sure you have the correct rotation prop. Look at how it cuts the water when it is turning. Looking from the back of the boat the prop should turn Counter Clockwise.
