File talk:Propeller Walk.svg

This illustration has been cropped so as to hide some of the text in and (worse) below the illustration itself. Also, the reference to *boat* movement is actually misleading, as the walk effect is created by the propeller, and is at its very strongest when the boat is moving forward or still in the water while the propeller is reversing, i.e. to stop/reverse the boat (since the rudder is then not effective and can not compensate for the walk). It should also be noted that the references to reversing is strictly for a reversing gear, whereas if reversing by reversing the pitch of a variable pitch propeller, the walk would remain in the same direction as for forward. 89.11.232.88 (talk) 01:55, 17 May 2017 (UTC) G Halbo
