Pardon Sir, You can't feather a prop on a Cessna 152/172, Piper 140,
Piper Warrior, etc. But the engine out procedure is to stop the prop
for max glide distance due to less drag as the previous post explained.
Air is a fluid like water, just lighter.

It has been repeatedly demonstrated that airplanes glide significantly
farther (up to 20%) when the nose is raised to slow them down enough
to stop the prop and best glide speed is then resumed. I can't see
any reason why this wouldn't be true of boat propellers as well.

Because aircraft are entirely in the air an boats are partially in
water. Airplane props are feathered, boat props aren't.
