[C320-list] Folding Prop - and Oh I forgot to ask

[Joe Barrett]

Hi Randy, I have a 3 blade feathering prop from Martec called Autostream. I
always sail with the engine in reverse. It helps open the blades and stops
the shaft and prop from spinning. I've also learned to not start the engine
while still in reverse but that's from trial and error, mostly error!

One last question I forget to ask. The Flex-O-Fold documentation recommends
that I put the engine in reverse while sailing.  I have read in this list
that other prop manufactures recommend forward.

What gives here?  Which is better?
