Main engine testing alongside

[BuzzLightyear6993]

Imagin you were scuba diving and you came across that?

XD

[captinoasis49]

why was there a child screaming in the backround?

[TomBrooklyn]

Why is the prop partly out of the water?

[BuzzLightyear6993]

@TomBrooklyn

Because the ship has nothing in it so it is riding very high.

[SgtRollo61]

MMMMM I wonder if it will fit my Mercruiser???

[BadAndUgly]

Do not swim there.

[TonyODonnell01]

Any idea on how they are keeping the ship from moving forward and reverse when they did this test?

[BuzzLightyear6993]

@TonyODonnell01

Probably used the anchor.

[idushy]

Who ARE these people who click Dislike on every good video?

[SthealthRaider]

Hmm i give you 10 bucks to swim near the suction part of the prop :)

[thirstychicken]

[skaro73]

I'm scared as hell watching this..........yet I cannot look away!

[radeakins]

POWER!



[R4ndomGaming]

Props freak me out when im near them

[walnutstreaker]

2fast4u510 knows a lot about boats ahaha

[CyberSlayerNo1]

Oh my Goodness, these things are really freaky. Just imagine diving and suddenly seeing or hearing one of these props close to you... That is really scary!

[12GAshotgunnersrain]

And this is why im afraid to get in the water anywhere NEAR a propeller.

[DrHooty911]

@12GAshotgunnersrain It's actually quite a common phobia, even certain divers get it

[lostindiancamp]

@12GAshotgunnersrain You and me both. I have been afraid of boat props since I was a kid and my uncle kept his boat in the garage with the engine facing the dryer. I was always terrified it would suddenly come on. LOL

[stdavross666]

DING DING engine room full speed ahead.

[dawg1157]

that would be fun to swim around

[2fast4u510]

are those things susposed to be under the water??

[jordyboy0129]

@2fast4u510 yes but the balast tank is not filled with water so when it is full the boat go's down in the water and it isent called just a thing its called a prop (propela)

[nb1212]

@jordyboy0129 we try to sail as less ballast as possible, of course.. cargo is our primary weight.

[jordyboy0129]

@nb1212 yes i was just trying to explain to sombody that dosent know anything about boats lol

[timemachinefan]

What vessel is this ? Seems to be a Maersk vessel because it looks like their color blue which is barely visible.

[Theriomalstrom]

Why does it rebound every time it stops? Is it being braked?

[timemachinefan]

Good observation; wonder if that is the case.

[madmax2069]

because its still docked.

[timemachinefan]

Anyone happen to know the approximate diameter of this prop? My guess is about 10 feet....

[nb1212]

more like 32 feet (9.8 m)

[eatmydirt85]

@nb1212 dang.

[BuzzLightyear6993]

@nb1212 Is that the actual diameter nb1212?

[BuzzLightyear6993]

@nb1212 Is that the actual diameter of the propeller?

[BuzzLightyear6993]

@nb1212

Is that the actual diameter?

[BuzzLightyear6993]

@nb1212

Is that the actual diameter?

[timemachinefan]

@timemachinefan WOW!!  I guess my guesstimate was a bit off, lol... Wonder if the vessel is a Maersk; judging from the color blue showing...

[4563399]

i woul'nt want to be swiming in front of that! LOL

[roffpoff]

cool , I also want a propellar like this ..
