A question just popped up in my mind, concerning these seaplanes, and others
I suppose.

Before starting, it is customary to walk the props through to clear the
chance of oil pooling in the lower cylinders and causing damage due to
hydralic lock.

How do they manage when there is no land to walk through turning the props?
Is there a certain way they deal with that?
