ventilation is when your propeller drags air from above the water into the blade.
You know your propeller is ventilating when your forward speed drops as the engine revs up suddenly
Perhaps I'm misinformed but I thought that's what cavitation was? Like when taking a sharp turn at too high of a speed and the boat slows as the engine revs higher...
