How do you feather a max-prop?
A friend of mine says he:
1.. While motoring forward at 3 knots, shuts off the motor
2.. Places the transmission into reverse to feather the prop
That’s it, that’s what he does. He leaves the transmission in reverse.
I do the following:
1.. While motoring forward at 3 knots, shut off the motor
2.. Place the transmission into reverse for 20 seconds to feather the prop
3.. Place the transmission in neutral
According to my friend, leaving the transmission in reverse keeps the prop
feathered and keeps the driveshaft from rotating.
Any thoughts on this??
