Propeller wash straightening device

A prop wash straightening apparatus for a watercraft having a rotatable propeller for moving the watercraft, comprising:

• an elongated substantially straight outer tubular member open at each end thereof and being connectable to the boat or vessel to position said outer member immediately downstream of the propeller and in substantially longitudinal fixed alignment with the direction of axial thrust produced by the propeller;
• a plurality of elongated hollow substantially straight open-ended inner tubular members closely packed together and positioned in generally coaxial alignment within, and generally coextensive with a substantial portion of the length of said outer tubular member;
• a proximal or forwardly end of said plurality positioned in close proximity to a trailing plane of the propeller;
• said plurality of tubular members includes a first array of a first diameter tubular members and a second array of a second diameter tubular members arranged around a periphery portion of said plurality adjacent to said outer tubular member.

• said outer tubular member has a first tubular portion thereof being of larger uniform transverse size than that of a second tubular portion of said tubular member;
• said first and second tubular portions being spaced apart and connected together by a tapered tubular transition member.
