Hi Stu,
Have you read your maxprop manual, mine says to turn the engine off in forward while doing a speed of 3-4 knots. Then put it into neutral. You shaft should not spin, or spin very slowly because the prop is feathered. On occasion, mine does not feather, so with the engine off, I shift to reverse then back to neutral.
Hope this help. BTW, I have had my maxprop since 1998.
Cheers,

Hi All,
I have a Yanmar 3YM30 engine with a Kanzaki transmission, and a MaxProp. ?I just want to make sure I am doing the right thing while sailing. ?I have been putting the transmission in reverse while sailing to stop the prop from turning. ?Is this correct?
Thanks
Stu
