When your propeller does not spin while the boat is in neutral, it typically indicates an issue with the transmission or gear mechanism, preventing the prop from rotating freely. This could be due to a malfunctioning gear shift, a broken linkage, or problems within the lower unit of the outboard or sterndrive. It may also suggest that the engine is not properly disengaging from the drivetrain. In such cases, it’s advisable to have the boat inspected by a qualified technician to diagnose and resolve the issue.
The outboard prop does not spin in neutral because the transmission is designed to disengage the propeller from the engine when in that gear. This prevents the prop from rotating while the boat is stationary, allowing for better control and safety. Additionally, it helps to protect the engine and drivetrain from damage when the boat is not in motion. When shifted into forward or reverse, the transmission engages, allowing the prop to spin and propel the boat.
In neutral, the propeller shaft is not engaged with any other part of the motor so the prop will spin freely. You'll often see this when a boat is being towed down the highway - the prop is spinning the same as a windmill does in the wind. It's best to let it spin cause if you put the motor in gear and the prop hits something, such as your driveway while you're going in or out of your yard, there is no give and you could damage your prop or worse, the gears inside.
Do you mean that they spin when the back end is jacked up? If so, don't worry about it... it's normal.
No, it would spin around and not land properly.
The answer may depend of what you mean by a "neutral star". That is an expression which is not recognised.
They do not always "crash" in this manner. although when they do, it is mainly due the instabilization of the tail prop. ============================================================ if the tail prop is not spining the rotation of the main rotor will force the helicopter to spin in the opposite direction, by air drag, the tail counterbalances this force.
The word revolve (to go around, as in circles) can mean to turn, spin, or rotate. (*For planets, "revolve" is used to mean orbiting around a larger body, while "rotate" is used for the spin of the body itself.)
From the pilot's point of view in the front seat of a Piper J-3 Cub, the prop spins clockwise (right).
Neutron is electrically neutral... But it posses a spin... And when it moves it has a finite kinetic energy...

When a skateboarder refers to a 900, they are referring to an aerial spin. It is performing a spin with two and a half rotations while on their skateboard. It is one of the hardest tricks a skateboarder can perform.
Nothing. Perhaps you mean "spin a YARN," which means to tell a story.
