- 4-blade propeller provides maximum thrust and smooth cruising operation
- Diameter of a propeller refers to distance across the circle encompassing the blades
- Pitch is the distance the propeller will move through the water per revolution
- Right-hand propellers are used for single engines
- Left-hand propellers are used for twin engines
- Cupped blades is a technique employed to enhance performance of propellers
