Sorry but that advice is incorrect. The Velvet drive is a hydraulic gear and without the hydraulic pump being run by the engine there is NO PRESSURE to do anything. A hydraulic gear WILL NOT LOCK THE PROPELLOR SHAFT by putting the shift lever in gear.
You would be correct with a mechanical gear such as many Hurths
