My intuition tells me that when you ' loosen the grip' on
the propeller shaft and let the propeller turn freely, it
reduces the drag on the boat. Right or wrong?

It'd be real easy to test.

Nobody is interested in settling the matter. Argument is so much more fun. And
in this case, it is also trivial.
