Neutral is not a good idea! The prop will free wheel which will create drag and with many transmissions, the oil pump is driven from the input shaft. Thus you have a spinning shaft without lubrication. Hirth transmissions recommend reverse. I have done this for 13 years with a Hirth transmissio

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
