Bravo One in gear out of the water on hose.?
 
Is there any problem with turning in gear a Bravo One when running off a hose flush?
Is the fact that there is no water resistance against the prop a potential cause of damage due to spinning it free?

I was wondering if after a gear lube change , you could spin the gears for just a bit?

Just wondering...

Thanks

no problem shifting the drive while running on the hose, forward or reverse

Should be fine without the prop and usually ok with the prop. Sometimes, the combination of a heavy prop can make it "chatter" at low rpm as the cone clutch engages/disengages rapidly.

Just give it about 5 seconds in neutral to let the prop stop spinning when shifting from forward to reverse or vice versa.

I verify FNR every spring on both drives on land before hauling it to the marina. Would much rather know at home something is broke, well before it's in the water.
