Re: Need a New Shaft
By the pics, It looks to me like there was some stainless steel crevice corrosion going on. Except for tiny pinholes, there's usually little evidence on the outside that something is going on as it corrodes from the inside out. Do you have anodes on the shafts? I don't see any in the pics.

Re: Need a New Shaft
Do you know where/when it happened? might be worth getting a local diver with a metal detector to see if they can find the prop if it's not in too deep of water. Might save quite a few $$ if it can be reconditioned. Also might provide some clues why the shaft broke.
Is there any chance you stuck something on the bottom or submerged in the water? Did you have any vibrations going on before you lost the prop?

Re: Need a New Shaft
If the shaft anodes are placed properly they can help to stop the shafts from dropping out if there is a failure between the coupling and the hull tube.
