Interesting as always. The shaft key reminds me of our friends that were off-shore and coming in the Cape Fear River. He was getting pushed by max current into an anchorage and shifted to reverse. Nothing. He dropped the hook and safety came to a stop. After exhausting all possibilities top side, he dove on the prop. It was still there but free wheeling. Instead of stainless, someone used a mild steel keyway which came out as powder and small pieces. It took him a while to get the proper key delivered.
