I have to do that

put the engine in reverse while it's moving forward and running. It's the only way it will feather.

To be honest, I get the boat moving at least 5 knots, bring it to idle, put it in neutral, wait a second, then,, throw it in reverse and at the same time kill the engine with the fuel shutoff. Technically it's shutting off while it feathers.

Never liked doing it but it works.
