Question: 1 / 400

What part of the boat is typically powered by the propeller?

The stern

The entire vessel

The correct answer emphasizes that the propeller powers the entire vessel. In a typical powerboat setup, the propeller is connected to the motor which generates thrust. This thrust is what propels the boat forward and allows it to maneuver.

While the propeller indeed plays a crucial role in driving the boat, it does not directly power specific parts like the hull or the bow. The hull is the structure that encloses the boat and is not responsible for movement in itself, while the bow refers to the front part of the boat. The stern is the back part where the propeller is located, but it also does not individually represent the entirety of the vessel's propulsion. Thus, focusing on the entire vessel captures the function of the propeller as it contributes to the overall movement and operation of the boat.
