Terry,
We had a similar discussion last year. Do you have a Yanmar? I put mine in
reverse, then neutral, but either is acceptable according to Yanmar so long as
you have a folding/feathering prop. The shaft should not rotate regardless.

I use the same shut down procedure (suggested by Max prop) and leave the
transmission in reverse.

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??
