while under sail my prop is suddenly making a "clanking" noise. Sounds like it may be hitting against something? If I put it into reverse to stop the prop from turning the sound stops. The only way to describe the noise is that it makes the same sound as the old boat in the movie The African Queen. Any suggestions? Is it ok to sail along with the transmission in reverse?

It may just be a zinc anode that's partially let go and hitting the hull. Might want to take a dip and check it out.

the owner's manual for my '90 C28 recommended leaving the transmission in either reverse or neutral when under sail, but never forward!!!
