backwash ??????

I never heard the term before exactly.
It could be the amount of your prop sticking down inside the hull and making sure the airflow from it clears the transom.
It could be when you are going along and for whatever reason you letoff of it and the backwash flows up behind your boat and in that case you don't want it clearing the transom because then you are on course to sink quickly.

I always refer to backwash as the amount of air that bounces forward off your transom as a result of the blade sitting down in the boat. I have about 7" of the blade down in my boat and it creates enough backwash that if I have water in the boat it will blow it forward and then out the back as a light mist that you can hardly see. This is not my bilge system but it does work small amounts of water that get in there from time to time.
