Prop slip conversation 2010
Bringing this forward - I thought it was a good quick thread - a further discussion would improve my understanding- and 10 has passed

Here's what I know. Boats are REALLY stupid and don't get math. If I run a high number on the GPS, my slip is "good", if I run slow my slip is "bad".
I could care less if I had 20% slip if I put up a big number. Too many people are trying to be scientists and make this stuff more complex than it is.

It all happens at the blade tips. This is where a prop can "cheat" at the slip numbers game.

The guy driving the boat can also blow up the slip numbers. When you lay into a fast boat with some patience and finesse you can tell that its hooked up and pulling well. If you just stab the throttle and point its usually a disappointing pass.
