Re: Prop shaft seizing
I agree with Viper. Also while it's out of the water make sure you check the "trueness" of your props. Our starboard prop was almost 0.5" out of true indicated by taking a measurement at the top of the prop to the rudder, rotating 180deg and measuring the top of the prop to the rudder again. It caused some pretty significant vibrations that transmitted through the whole drive train including shaking the engine!
Keep us posted on what you find!
