It can also causes malfunctions of the electronic devices. Another negative impact of propeller cavitation is the result of having irregular force on the propeller shaft. Hence this can lead to hairline &#8211; cracks on the shaft and can also create very difficult problems in the repair process of the shaft in future. Cavitation is also one the most important factors that affects the life of the propeller.
