I have always found in most boat that just putting it in reverse (engine off, of course) will lock the shaft enough for the prop to feather, and then put in neutral. I don’t think they go back to rotating after feathering.

The transmission should be always in neutral. There was even a bulletin saying that if you leave it in reverse, the warranty would be voided. Of course, none of our boats have any warranty (:-) Marek From: CnC-List <cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com> On Behalf Of Ken Heaton via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, March 6, 2019 13:53 To: cnc-list <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Ken Heaton <kenhea...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List Shift w We also put our boat in reverse to stop the prop spinning while sailing. It is a feathering prop but it doesn't always feather and stop unless we do put it in reverse. This is usually some time after we shut the engine down and then notice a slight vibration from the spinning prop. It is then very hard to get it out of reverse unless we start the engine so the engine get started in reverse frequently, at idle, them quickly shifted to neutral. Ken H.

My broken cable is self inflicted. While sailing in heavy winds I tried to tried to shift from reverse to neutral. Because it did not want to shift, I applied a lot of pressure. That broke the cable. What caused the transmission to bind up? I assumed the prop was not spinning while in reverse.
