hi I have a volvo penta 2003 engine and yesterday whilst manoeuvring onto a mooring the prop shaft separated from the gearbox and migrated through the seal. I managed to push it back into the boat from out side and push back into the collar at the gear box and tightened it all back up and seems to be okay now.
Hairy moment as we were taking on water, we’re drifting in strong Easterly towards rocks and thinking the whole shaft and prop had been lost! what would cause this to have happened? picture of the prop shaft attached. thanks for any thoughts…
