    Yes brass pins are shear pins, SS pins are called drive pins, and are for motors with props with rubber hubs like yours. The hub will fail it the prop hits a submerged object. The motors with brass shear pins usually have a solid prop. So they need the soft brass to protect the powerhead from damage should the prop hit a submerged object.
