You're kidding, right? Are you brand new to boating? I have been in yacht service for 25 years and have had the pleasure to meet thousands of boat owners. For some inexplicable reason, many of them drink. Are you suggesting no boat owner ever makes a mistake? Or perhaps, you live in a world where no one has money and just 'buys' a boat and leaves the dock, confident that he'll figure it out on the way. Is it possible you've never heard of someone ordering the installation of a new radar and then not knowing how to use it?
Besides, man, all it takes to leave a feathering prop in the middle is popping it through neutral to forward by mistake, or vice-versa, while taking it out of gear after docking, and with the engine still running, then quickly bringing it back to neutral prior to shutting down. THAT is how you leave it stuck halfway. Shutting off the engine in gear is guaranteed to have the prop hard against the stops one way or the other.
