Default Docking Situation Question #7

Duh! If you don't use the engine the propeller isn't going to turn. Then you don't
have propeller walk in the first place. I bet you don't know what causes propeller walk.
Well, I'll tell you. It's because of the water being thicker on the bottom of the propeller
than on the top. If you don't want prop walk you have to use a nozzle like a Jet Ski.
What am I doing? This has nothing to do with sailing....
