I'm not a native English speaker, but I do get most of the slangs. Still, this one got me puzzled 🤔... I really can't see any relation to motors or boats in this.

Because it sounds like a motor boat.
Really? I've never been on a motor boat, I wouldn't know.
At least that explains why I couldn't find logic behind the slang.
Not really, it's just a fun expression. Kinda sounds like a propeller in the water.
