First thing I checked were engine mounts. All fine.
Maxprop was sent in 6 years ago for rebuild. And yes, I grease the prop frequently.
Shaft won't back out because the rudder would be in the way, the PSS shaft seal would stop it or if neither of those worked, the flange would stop it.
After finding the shaft movement, I am discounting my first thought that the crunching was from barnacles on the prop. After tieing up on the mooring, I watched and listened to the trans and noises plus the movement of the shaft are from the trans.
And no way in HELL am I diving into the St Lucie river. Visibility is about 3". People are getting flesh eating bacteria and who knows what else from the massive discharges from Lake Okeechobee. A massive environmental disaster. Wish I could leave here now.
I will take a look at the temp alearm wiring.
I have a new HBW250 trans on hold from Transatlantic. $2300, it's only money. I can print more.
Thanx all for playing name that crunch.
