If you have the 5411 with a Hurth Transmission it's OK to leave in neutral when sailing - according to the manual. There was a PDF of the 5411 manual and the parts manual up on the Catalina 30 site - not sure if it's still there or not but worth grabbing. I had a 5411 and they were very helpful - but alas my 5411 has gone to the big rust bucket in the sky -

--- Begin Message --- I have an 11 hp Universal and have been told that while under sail and engine off I should leave the transmission in gear to keep the prop from spinning. Is this right? Does it matter?
