I can't see any reason why this wouldn't be true of boat propellers as well. Because aircraft are entirely in the air an boats are partially in water. Airplane props are feathered, boat props aren't. I used to fly an ultralight aircraft - a Rotec Rally 2B. It had a two-bladed wood prop that was driven by a Kohler air-cooled 432cc two-stroke engine via a centrifugal clutch and belt. I could climb to about two or three thousand feet and shut off the motor and the propeller would free-wheel because of the centrifugal clutch being disengage. The glide ratio was terrible with the prop free wheeling - one could feel the drag it caused. I put a brake on the clutch hub and stopped the prop from free-wheeling and the glide ration increased dramatically. The same extra drag is evident on a boat propeller that free-wheels. It's as if the two blades turn into a fixed disk. CN You guys need to get a room. John Cairns Did you go skiing again this winter? Did your break your leg again? I'm telling you, KKKaty, ya gotta watch that osteoporosis since you're post-menopausal. **** Okay, since Steve and Gary won't help, I will.
