Questions after sea trial

[northerner]

Hi thereWe finally managed to do our sea trial yesterday. Light air but we still managed to get an idea of performance undersail.One thing we wondered if the propeller needs to spin when sailing? I didn't care for the sound and preferThe solitude

Did you put it in reveres? I've always heard this was the recommended approach.

Depends on the transmission installed in the boat. Some manufacturers state allowing the prop to spin is okay, others explicitly forbid it. Whatcha got? RT

Whatever you do, don't lock it in forward--I think all manufacturers agree that's a no-no.
