So can someone explain to me what Rake actually is?
Mart
The rake refers to the measured angle of something from a surface plane. For a quick example, a mast rake coming through the hull of a sailboat can be adjusted for efficiency and speed. The example is simply referring to the prop blade angle from the hub that is molded into the prop.

following with Scott,

Rake is the degree that the blades slant forward or backwards in relation to the hub.
