   The electric trolling motor was invented by O.G. Schmidt in 1934 [3] in Fargo, North Dakota, when he took a starter motor from a Ford Model A, added a flexible shaft, and a propeller. Because his manufacturing company was near the Minnesota/North Dakota border, he decided to call the new company Minn Kota.

4. Ducted propeller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducted_propeller

   A ducted propeller, also known as a Kort nozzle, is a marine propeller fitted with a non-rotating nozzle. It is used to improve the efficiency of the propeller and is especially used on heavily loaded propellers or propellers with limited diameter. It was developed first by Luigi Stipa (1931) and later by Ludwig Kort (1934). The Kort nozzle is ...

5. Internal drive propulsion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_drive_propulsion

   Like other forms of motorized boating, internal drive propulsion employs a motor that turns a propeller to move the boat forward. The primary difference between internal drive boats and external drive boats is that the propeller is enclosed inside the hull of an internal drive boat whereas the propeller is exposed outside the hull of a stern ...

6. Modular propeller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_propeller

   Unlike a standard one-piece boat or aircraft propeller, a modular propeller is made up of using a number of replaceable parts, typically: a set of matched blades; a propeller hub; and; an end cap to retain the blades and to secure the propeller as a solid unit.

7. Folding propeller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding_propeller

   A folding propeller is a type of propeller whose blades automatically fold out when the engine is turning, and then fold back (or "feather") when the engine stops. Folding propellers are found on sailing yachts, on model airplanes, and increasingly on self-launching gliders and small motor gliders, such as the Aériane Swift PAS.
