The water flow through a propeller is similar to the way air passes through a fan – it is sucked in and forced out. The pushing out process is at a higher velocity than when it was pulled in and therefore, creates thrust.

While a small inboard installed in a sailboat can come in handy in case of emergencies or for docking purposes, the propeller it turns is a source of drag when under sail. Fortunately, folding two-blade props can be installed to reduce this drag.

When you’re selecting a new propeller, the goal is to choose one that allows the engine to be in the right Wide Open Throttle (WOT) range. For outboard motors, this is between 5000-5800 rpm, while sterndrives are in the range of 4400-4800 rpm. This info should be in your owner’s manual.
