The main output shaft needs to be stalled so you can operate the gear shift safely, this can be done on a free turbine engine ( most helicopter engines have free turbines) by disc braking the power turbine, as it is only coupled to the gas producer turbine by gas!, like a fluid flywheel/ torque converter in a car
Thanks folks for all your interest!, should be entertaining eventually!

Talking of Helicopters.(No wonder Matt h is interested! ....if the thing doesn't actually "Take off" what sort of performance do you reckon?....or could it possibly be a case of more Throttle ...than Bottle!?
Sub 6m RIB looks pretty small for that Power plant...

Gotta say this is a brilliant thread - keep the photos coming!

Reminds me that this is a brilliant forum, with brilliant members! - I am currently following two different boat builds with massive interest - This and the eRIB - Two complete opposites but both brilliant.
