Thanks again for your ideas.

can come up with. There is even have one device that resists torque
forces by heat-shrinking the coupling to the shaft!


I would recommend against heat shrinking the coupling on since your whole
objective is to be able to drop the rudder. Usually a heat shrink can only
be removed with a hylraulic press or a lot of heat.

If you looking at flanged couplings, then just get a propellor shaft ridgid
coupling. In these the bolt a fitted and you won't have any problem with
torque movement.
