[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 461209, member: 21536"] I wouldn't think you caused any damage. For whatever it is worth my previous 25 Merc four stroke owner's manual said to put in in neutral whilst towing so the prop wouldn't be spin and cause useless wear. Of course, this happens with the motor off. I wonder if Rich's mechanic is talking about older models or a specific model, or maybe it is just a best practice to not be shifting gears with the motor off. I sure don't know. [/QUOTE]
