Описание: What Is Propeller Walk And How Does It Affect Boat Handling? Have you ever wondered how boats handle during close-quarters maneuvers and what factors influence their movement? In this informative video, we'll explain everything you need to know about propeller walk and its impact on boat handling. We'll start by defining what propeller walk is and how it causes the stern to drift sideways even when you're trying to go straight. You'll learn why most boats with right-handed propellers tend to push the stern to one side during forward and reverse gear, and how the shape and angle of the propeller blades, along with hull design, affect this behavior.

We'll discuss the various factors that influence the amount of prop walk, including the angle of the propeller shaft, the size and pitch of the propeller, and the type of rudders and hull shape. Additionally, you'll discover practical tips for managing prop walk during docking, leaving a slip, or maneuvering in tight spaces. We'll also share advice on practicing in open water to better understand your boat’s reactions and how to use prop walk to your advantage.
