I understand your concern about the transmission. You probably shortened it's life by a day, each time you made that mistake. I suggest you learn from that, don't look for symtoms, and just focus on better maintenance. Like change the transmission fluid sooner. Machinery loves fresh lubricant and changing it can add years of life.

That is all clear, but does not answer my question. I mistakenly left the transmission in Forward and later found a tag saying that if you did this it would damage the transmission. I am trying to figure out if I have damaged it and if so, what the symptoms would be. Thanks- Dave

We have covered this subject before. I thought that the "take-away" was that with feathering props it is necessary to put in gear ( reverse) in order to feather). Since there is no more turning force on the transmission caused by the prop, it is safe to leave it in reverse while sailing. This is what I do anyhow!
