Boat powered by rotating submerged propeller

So the boat is powered by a rotating drive shaft submerged under the ship, all the vtol engine is doing is powering the outlets on the propeller shaft, making that spin the also submerged propeller.

Controls:
Yaw controls the whole engines angle in relation to the boat. Aka steering.

Vtol controls the propeller blades angle relative to the propeller hub.
(Somewhere around 45 degrees seems to work best.)

Ps, want to make sure it's really the propeller and no hidden engine moving the boat forward?
-just remove for example, the propeller blades.

    @PlanesOfOld haha no problem, I took it just the same as when accused of cheating in online games when I don't, someone obviously thinks I did something pretty damn good =) But I'd love the link to your video with the same system for propulsion! (I happen to like all the possibilities this game gives when it comes to doing things mechanically "different" than say, normal) =)

    @PlanesOfOld I haven't even seen that. But I'll take your comment as a compliment considering your points on here and the assumption yours worked fine.
