Tom, I put mine in reverse to stop the prop, then position the shaft so the blades are folded. Then I put it back into reverse to lock them in place. It's easy, especially if you mark the shaft position when the boat is out of the water.

That said, if I recall correctly, the MarTec prop folks suggest putting it in reverse temporarily to rotate the prop blades into a neutral position...but that could just be something I imagined.
