Default super vee guys-- help!

I got the Super Vee 27 motor/esc installed in my Super Hawaii. I armed the esc, and the motor spun the wrong way, so stupidly, I reversed the throttle on the transmitter while everything was still on. Then nothing worked. I switched 2 wires on the motor like the instructions said, and tried to rearm the esc.
Now, the motor still won't turn at all. When I turn on the transmitter, then the boat, I get a constant "beep,"
so then I hold the throttle to wide open like the instructions say, and I hear a single "beep." According to the instructions, it should work, but it doesn't. I flipped the transmitter back to normal, and moved the trim all the way to negative. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Aaron

I had the same thing when my throttle was reversed. Make sure it is the correct way, I.E the same as when it was working originally.

If you are hearing a constant beep I believe your trim is still off. I had an issue where the plug in the reciever wasn't tight and caused the same thing. If I remember correctly you should hear one beep. Then pull to full throttle and hear, it's either 3 or 4 rapid beeps to indicate it's armed. Sounded like you were close.

I was able to get the esc programmed again, don't ask me how I did it, but it works. I switched 2 of the motor wires, and the prop is spinning the right way. Hopefully I'll be able to take it for a test run this evening. Thanks to everyone who helped!!!
