BOTTOM OF THE HULL - The part of the hull of the boat under the waterline. The navigation capabilities of a boat is largely determined by the shape of the bottom of the hull.
CAVITATION - A condition caused when the propeller of a boat is not set low enough in the water, making it too much or not enough air biting; cavitation caused loss of power to the motor. Common causes are improperly installed (too high) engine, rough seas and tight corners.
WATER jerky - Rough sea caused by wind and waves from different directions and it together.
COATING - A flexible material (usually rubber or similar material) which coats the inside and the exterior of a substance. Air density and leaking guaranteed by the interior coating, wear resistance is provided by the outer layer.

PRESSURE GAUGE - A small tool that measures the air pressure level in a flotation tube.
RUBBING Strake - A flexible, wear resistant material in bands around a boat to protect it from too much rubbing against a dock or something else.
SELF BAILER - A type of valve that removes accumulated water from the boat, while preventing water from getting into the hull of the boat. When the boat at rest or in use, a plug can be used for closing the bailer itself.
