3rd vote for makes no sense. Serious,prop spinning fast enough to do damage with the engine turned off! Please dude.
Oh youre the guy that knows everything about all things right? Boat has a large four blade stainless prop that does spin and have enough momentum to injure, it doesnt need a lot of force when the blade is as sharp as they are too.
Let me ask you this, can you see your prop when its trimmed all the way down in the water? Id say not in most places in LA unless you are out inthe blue

Has nothing to do with what you claim.
If you're saying your prop can cut someone because it's sharp as hell that's one thing.
Average props will not cut you and would have to be engaged with the motor to do an sort of harm.

You can cut yourself on a blade that isn't moving. I have never seen a prop that will cut toes off when the engine is off. It is rotaing b/c of current and will stop when it touches something....not the same as a prop that is spinning b/c it is in gear.

Props are not sharp enough to cut you unless someone has done some work on it and ruined it trying to make it sharp. They do get knicked up and those knicks can scratch/cut you. Had it happen several times. I would def take a running motor in gear to do enough damage to kill someone.
