What are the causes of positive and negative propeller slip?



What are the causes of positive and negative propeller slip?..

Answer / Anupam Kashyap

Positive and negative propeller slip are caused by mismatches between the engine output and the propeller's ability to transfer that power to the water. Factors causing this include: 1) Propeller pitch being incorrect for the operating conditions. 2) Worn-out or damaged propeller. 3) Excessive wear on the propeller shaft or bearings.
