I do remember the instruction I got at Spartan when I got my
A&P. Looking for the exact stats on-line is a little time
consuming, since the search terms need to be general enough
to find the data and selective enough that you don't get a
lot of boating accidents.
Since for any person, only one prop strike accident is one
too many, whether nationally it is 2 or 1 a week or just
once a month, be careful.
