The mechanism behind counter rotating props is really neat to see. Suzuki has a nice display for their dual propeller lower unit. Go check them out! #howtoboating #suzuki #props #flibs #flibs2024 | How to boating

What are COUNTER-ROTATING PROPS: There is a big difference between these two boats. The first boat shown has one prop for each engine. Each engine spins counter to one another to avoid side effect. If both props spin the same way in forward, the stern will drift to one side, making a difficult to handle. The other vessel has two engines with two props each. Each engine has its own counter rotating blades. #howtoboating #howto #boating #propellers #props #engines #blades #captain #sideeffect #wal

A coaxial propeller, also known as a contra-rotating propeller, is a type of propeller configuration where two propellers are mounted on the same axis but rotate in opposite directions. This design is used in various applications, including aircraft, marine vessels, and drones. Here are some key points about coaxial propellers: ### Advantages: 1. **Improved Efficiency**: By counteracting the rotational flow of the first propeller, the second propeller can recover some of the energy lost to the r
