Has anyone ever put a brake on their shafts to stop the props from turning when you are anchored in a strong current?
 
Something as simple as a ratchet strap in the right place would do.
Be sure to zip-tie the boat key to the strap, though.;)
 
Is your concern that the gears will be damaged if the props are turning while you are anchored?
