There is the added advantage it can also be used to provide battery charging if the drive system is capable of regeneration, that is it can operate as a generator as well. Simply engage reverse then release the power, the propeller will not feather from reverse so will provide drive for power generation. Once the batteries are fully charged, simply drive forward briefly and feather the propeller as normal. How often should I grease the propeller and what grease should I use?
