🔍 Key Concepts

• Right-handed vs left-handed propeller – which way the prop turns when going ahead • Transverse thrust (prop walk) – which way the stern tends to move when in reverse • Effect of propeller rotation on stern movement in astern propulsion

💭 Think About

• First, picture yourself standing behind the survival craft looking forward: which direction does a right-handed propeller rotate when going ahead? • Now imagine that same propeller turning in reverse: which side of the stern will be ‘pushed’ sideways by the propeller wash? • Eliminate any choices that are clearly unrelated to transverse thrust or that confuse speed/turning with prop walk.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know the definition of a right-handed propeller (direction of rotation viewed from astern when going ahead). • Double-check which direction the stern, not the bow, moves when prop walk occurs in reverse. • Eliminate options that mention effects that a propeller’s ‘hand’ does NOT logically influence (e.g., automatic righting, substantially higher speed).
