Back to the transmissions; it seems that you've satisfied yourself that you
are not significantly risking damage to them...yes?

According to the manufacturer and all of the so called experts, we
should be OK. I like Jere Lull's sugggestion regarding feathering
props but I suspect there is a considerable expense to doing that,
plus some increased complexity risk.

Since the GB42 probably has smaller props, it might also be easier to
implement one of the jerry rigged solutions for preventing shaft
rotation.
