My 2008 25 hp Merc EFI manual says leave it in REVERSE.
Not sure of the logic of that. The wind in not ever going to be strong enough to turn it. Ever try to pull start? Pitcure a violent pull start except now your leverage is only the radius of a prop blade? And if THAT strong will probably bend the blade(s).
