Aquadrive - watch for loose bolts

Are you sure that's an Aquadrive.
It looks very similar to my Python drive.

When a yard replaced the cutlass bearing. They didn't torque up the shalf collet clamp. When I removed the gearbox, to have some work done on it, the shaft had slipped back about 15m.
One good burst astern and they shaft would have come out. And with twin rudders there's nothing to stop the saft sliding right out.
Did it kill anyone?
