Default Kicker down when under way with main engine?

Is there a pressure oil system involved in the spinning parts? If so there
might be a lube issue but the manufacturer will be able to tell you how long
you can run like that.

I would imagine it would be like running a twin engine on just one engine,
depending on the equipment you're supposed to turn on the dragging engine
every x amount of hours just to get some lube going.

If no pressure lube system is involved I can't see how it could be a problem
.... but I'm no marine mechanic.

Is this a bad idea? Kicker is off and in neutral so prop spins and engine
doesn't.
