What is the correct way to stop the prop from spinning when sailing & engine is off on a Oceanis 400?

Shift

to reverse, that will stop the spin. There are also shaft brakes that clamp down on the spinning shaft, but have only run across those on large vessels. FWIW, my volvo manual says to let it spin and run the engine every 10 hours or so. Good luck, Marc
