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.
