All the questions are answered in this complete reference, the first of its kind. This clear, easy-to-use handbook for all small boats is written not for Ph.D.s seeking the latest wrinkle in high-tech propeller design, but as a practical aid for the average mechanic, engineer, boatbuilder, fleet operator, serious yachtsman, or naval architect.

From the Back Cover
- Why won't your engine reach its top rated RPMs?
- Why is your propeller shaft vibrating?
- Why doesn't your boat reach the top speed claimed by the manufacturer?
- Will more or less propeller pitch improve your boat's performance?
- Is a square wheel (pitch equals diameter) best?
- Is a folding prop best for your purposes?
- Should you choose a two-, three-, or four-bladed propeller?
All these questions and more are answered in this complete reference--the first of its kind.
