Turns out the prop shaft has come loose from it's coupling to the engine
and has dropped down stem-log tube!!


Get a shaft collar zinc (http://www.zincsmart.com/) and clamp it to the shaft
just before your stuffing box. That way if the shaft ever comes loose from the
coupler again it can't slide down the tube. In fact if the zinc is close enough
to the stuffing box it can't even slide out of the coupler.
