Default 101 for Martin and Jeff

Every boater knows that "fouled" means tangled. Face it, n00b, you
tried to use sailer talk and screwed up!





Total nonsense. "Fouled" means what the dictionary says it means. Our
head mechanic who's a former navy guy and has been working on boat
engines for 45 years wrote, "Propeller fouled hard object, probably
submerged timber."
And so far no one else I spoke to assumed that I meant tangled when I
said it fouled.

I guess you must be from the Jurassic period of boat terms, Jeff!
