Slide 13 of 24
Notes:
RETURNING TO THE PIVOT POINT, WE CAN SEE HERE HOW THE PROPELLER’S LONGITUDINAL FORCE WILL IMPACT THE SHIP’S PIVOT POINT. REMEMBER A KICK AHEAD WILL MOVE THE PIVOT POINT FORWARD. A KICK ASTERN WILL MOVE THE PIVOT POINT AFT. AS WE WILL SEE IN A MOMENT, THIS WILL IMPACT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR RUDDER BY INCREASING OR DECREASING THE LEVER ARM.
