better to let it spin in neutral??
In Response To: Mack Boring's advice ()
Am I to understand that it is better to let it spin in neutral then put it in reverse? Feathering prop is out of the question.

- How would you stop a prop from turning?
- Yanmar in reverse
- It's called a shaft brake
- With a Max prop (or Flexifold Gold folding prop), you shouldn't get any spin
- So with the right prop, don't worry about it, eh.
- When working, any feathering or folding prop should "de-tune" itself

- The guys in Maine use a lobster pot or some fishing line wrapped around it. Keeps it from spinning every time.
