One boat that was forever doing this turned out to have a bad motor mount. Might want to check that… Joe Coquina

Mine has two bolts which go through coupling and into small dimples drilled into shaft. They were wired in and over time the ends had worn off and allowed shaft to pull out when reversed was applied to prop. Some on list checked and had similar problems. I was surprised so many Well, on haul out I discover it has happened again, with the new bolts. Haven't pulled them yet to see, but shaft pulled enough to show key and the dimples, still in place. No excessive vibration or anything. Bolts still appear tight. Thinking maybe of going with two set screws in each hole, one snugged, another on top. Love to hear thoughts from listers with some experience. Bill Walker Evening Star CNC 36 Pentwater, Michigan
