Spinning a prop means you broke the rubber insert inside the prop hub loose, it needs to be replaced.
Prop slippage exists because there is always a small amount of cavitation on every prop. Pitch is the theoretical distance a prop will travel if turned 1 revolution in a solid substance (like jello) with 0 slip, but it will not occur in water.

If you use fenders to tie up to another vessel or pier than what is the definition of fendering?
Also what is the definition of mooring?
Trolling? (this has nothing to do with picking up chicks)
Do you launch a boat from a trailer or a pier?

I thought "freeboard" is measured from the water line
to the top of the walls that surround the cockpit?
I dont know the name of it all I know is it has "gun" in it.

What do you call the white spacer in a Bravo drive where the pin goes through. The one that looks like a Celery Stick or a bone. I call it the Celery stick or Bone!
