## Discrepancy

(CAN) PILOT REPORTED THAT THE RIGHT PROPELLER WAS FEATHERED WHEN HE WENT TO DO HIS WALK AROUND. AN ENGINE RUN WAS CARRIED OUT WITH NO DEFECTS FOUND. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN THE PROPELLER WOULD START TO FEATHER WITHIN 30 SECONDS AND CONTINUE UNTIL IT WAS FULLY FEATHERED. THE PROP WAS REPLACED WITH AN OVERHAULED UNIT.
