Depends on the engine/transmission. If you have a Yanmar with a Kanzaki transmission it has to stay in neutral while sailing. Check with your engine manufacturer.

All,? During this long covid winter my thoughts turn to sailing.? So from the standpoint of efficiently is it better to sail with the gearbox in neutral or in gear?? Somewhere I heard that it's not good to sail
in neutral, as the prop shaft if always turning.? I've always sailed in neutral, and am wondering if I'm doing it wrong.? I have a two bladed prop.
Any guidance is appreciated
