Anybody have actual experience running a single screw boat with a Kortz nozzle?
(no I heard from a guy who knows a guy who met a guy stuff, please)
Any discernable difference in propwalk when making sternway?
That's a good question. Because if you do, it would dispel otn's
theory. I imagine you would though because of the several *root* causes
of prop walk, not all would be eliminated by korts. I.e., the one you
described out of Chapman's would still exist as would any torque force.
While otn's theory could contribute, it's only one of several factors
that may or may not be the largest contributor on any particular boat.
