I've been told that if you do put it in gear you should put in reverse - so it's not turning the tranny when you are sailing

--- Begin Message --- I've been told just the opposite. Keeping it in gear doesn't keep the prop from spinning, especially when you're really clipping along. Better to keep it in neutral and just let the prop spin free

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?
