The engine worked great, although Bill found the set screw was missing
from
the coupling, so we are really looking forward to traveling a bit this
season. I guess he had way less confidence in his rebuild than I did!
I've been burned out working on this boat for some time, but I'm feeling
inspired again!

Welcome back, not sure where you've been, but I read a suggestion a while
back about zincs that might not be bad idea. The author suggested installing
a zinc on the shaft between the coupling and the packing gland, if something
happens to the coupling it could keep the shaft from falling out of the
boat.
