Oh dear.

I stopped the engine and dropped anchor, and lifted the prop out of the
water, only to find that there was no longer drive getting from the engine
to the prop.

I don't know your particular engine but whenever I've done this or
heard of someone else doing it, it has always been the drive pin.
This, as I recall, is designed to fail before any really expensive
bits are damaged.

Hope this is what's happened in your case.

Ahh, thanks for your input, will check that.

Is the drive pin the split pin that is used to hold the prop on??

This pin still appears intact.

Or am I looking at the wrong pin?
