ROFL, Cool your jets, Mooron ... I'm not confronting you, I'm talking to
you .....comments interspersed:

Well I would expect that angle of the shaft affects direction of the prop
wash against the rudder... that would be plain common sense. I distinctltly
stated that I couldn't state one single overwhelming factor for propwash
from my experiences. I never claimed your theory to be false only that I
didn't completely agree with the premise.

Quite possibly correct, but when going astern, there would be no prop
wash past the rudder and I would say most would see the affects of
propwalk to a greater degree when backing. G You don't have to
completely agree with me any more than I do with you. We're talking the
possibilities, here.

May I suggest reading for content rather than confrontation.... I wrote as
plain as day "I think the biggest villain is pitch and rudder placement as
well as flow and entry/exit of the prop wash."

G The only confrontation, was in your own reading of the content. My
statement was that I felt it was mainly pitch (shoulda, coulda said
also). I don't think it has as much to do with rudder placement although
flow and entry/exit of the wash from the prop probably does count.

Now this petty, delusional, uncalled for, idiotic, uninspired statement just
blows your entire argument and casts doubt on the validity of your
intentions. If it's confrontation you want .... clarify that and I'll
accommodate you. It's not like you have the aptitude to contest me on either
a verbal or physical arena. You want to troll ... keep it on rec boats where
you have a chance of success. Around here you have little credibility and
absolutely no influence.

ROFL the last paragraph was dedicated to Boobsprit, as an afterthought
(figure he reads them all) and had nothing to do with you (read for
content). Seems to me, the only one here looking for confrontation, is
you, I was having a discussion .....
