Long stroke engines are still the best. 98" thats 8ft2 long live imperial.

Did/do horses pull or do they actually push????

They push the boat. Unless you tie the rope to its tail.

Surely they push on the harness, wihch then in turn pulls on the rope/boat?

 

- Most ropes are pritty piss-poor in compression!

Yes the harness pulls, but the horse pushes.

Yes the harness pulls, but the horse pushes.

 

From personal experience ropes are pretty poor in compression.

Yes the harness pulls, but the horse pushes.

So the answer to "Did/do horses pull or do they actually push?" is that horses push.

- However the horse does not push the boat... But the harness...

That's why the horse pushes the harness, the harness pulls the ropes, the ropes pull the boat.
