According to the manufacturer and all of the so called

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

implement one of the jerry rigged solutions for preventing

rotation.

Do you have room to install a collar, with a small disc for
a cable actuated caliper of some sort. Like a bicycle
brake, only larger.
