Interesting. I can't think of too many boats that "pull" water over a
rudder for steering, except in reverse, and this is well known to be,
generally, of little effect.
Of course, considering the source of that statement, we realize it has
no value, other than to say he didn't understand what I was saying, nor
does he have any knowledge of the subject.
G I'll call that a "negative", with reservations.....
Come-on group, I'm looking for some pos/neg responses from people with
some knowledge and experience, not jaxasses .....

if I told you that
rudders were important tools of boat handling, but not to be considered
for steering, rather for "thrust vectoring", when maneuvering around a
dock, etc., when kicking an engine ahead, both positive and negative

I would know you are bull****ting, for pulling water over a rudder with a
prop
does not -- and can not under the laws of physics -- affect the direction a
boat is moving.

Since I know Otn has jaxass killfiled, I'll quote this nonsense so otn can read
it.
