In my boat I can manually flap those wings up and down, and I gain a lot more control when having them down and while doing them all the way up, all I can do is donuts

Gotcha. Also, on boat propellers, what does CCW and CW mean?

Clockwise and couter clockwise. Your motor spins right its clockwise. If it spins left its counter clock wise.

He's obviously just repairing it so you won't have to
It'll be a greatly saved $20 if you just try to drive it yourself to see whether the flaps are necessary. For me I can't imagine my boat without those flaps. During my tests with the wings completely up and after gaining speed, every small little turn resulted in a 110° turn, losing all the speed. The boat flipped every 4 times doing so

Hey I just learned how a clock actually works. Thanks. I could never tell time so times I wake up at 1am at work and sometimes 1pm at work. That always confused me as if I was going back in time or closer to hell

It also looks like I'll be testing it without the flaps...
Looks simple enough, just make some.
