Maybe your friends shaft is still together because they solved their problem in the last year or two and a lapping job did nothing to prevent breakage. That many broken shafts on one boat must be a record, I think CC would have wanted that boat back to do a little root cause analysis. Just think of all the money and resources expended over the years by a bunch of engineers at CC, Acme and various shaft suppliers and who knows who else................and all they had to do was listen to Pete and do a little lapping. They should all be fired

Yes, I understand the keyway position was determined to be a problem. My friends last shaft broke after the change was made. It was clear that the forward area of the prop/shaft taper wasn't seated. The material removed for keyways causes a weak spot and also stress in the area. It would be interesting to know if they ever considered not machining the keyway in the shaft at all?
