Not on my boat. There's still maybe 5 feet of boat hull in the water
above the prop behind where the prop exits. There's no prop wash at all
breaking the surface astern of me. And since we're talking about
backing up from standing still, there really is nothing of the sort
you've described above. And yet I still get prop walk.
