When I was working on the NS that I used to have, I saw that the prop would spin freely. Ok, it needs a shear pin, I can handle that. But when I got into the lower unit, I found that the propshaft had not even been drilled for a shear pin. It looked like a replacement propshaft that wasn’t quite finished. well, I figgered I could finish it, there’s only one little hole to drill, right? Well shit. I don’t know what it was made of, but when I tried to drill a shear pin hole through that shaft, none of the drills I had could cut it. I gave up and made one of my own propshafts out of 303 stainless and machined it just fine. Had to laff tho. I still have that propshaft, I use it for a drift because apparently I can’t hit it hard enough to damage it.
