OK, jaxie, please explain Feynman's Sprinkler Paradox and give us your answer.
And why do you think this is relevant?

Are you claiming that an object placed on the "suction side" of a propeller will
not feel an affect, that is it cannot be deflected to one side if it
asymmetrical?

The exercise was
repeated in reverse hanging off a bow line, proving (contrary to jaxie's
claim)
the affect works in reverse,

geezus kriste, jeffies, you claim to have a degree in physics and have
NEVER --
to this moment -- heard of classic "under water lawn sprinkler" paradox that
ALL physics students learn.

Get your wife to explain it to you. It is impossible to steer by *pulling*
water over a rudder with a prop. Can't be done, except when under the
influence of hard drugs.
