Is this a bad idea? Kicker is off and in neutral so prop spins and engine
doesn't.
I don't know of any "major" problems with it, but there are a few
"minors":
a.) extra drag- If you've got lots of hp and fuel money; no big
deal.
b.) unecessary wear on the seals and lower drivetrain of the kicker.
Even though it's in neutral, wearable parts are in motion.
I wouldn't do it, but it's your call.
....carry on.
noah
