Default trolling motor steering wrong way

This is a really dumb question, I have a min kota maxim pro with cable steering. I recently had some work done on it and now it steers backward I think. Heel down it goes to the right. Tow down to the left. I had never thought about it just automaticaly used it. Now it seems backward. Maybe I am the one backward. How doese yours work. Thanks

Sounds like your cables are reversed.
