Does the other shaft seem like it was properly installed by the reports or the current shop.

Not really. The scoring in the hub appears to be part of the set screw sheared off. Really easy to sort out…..back out the set screw and compare it to a new one. MyCould the backing out of the coupling cause the scoring?
I received an email from the original repair yard, they basically ripped my surveyors report to shreds. Mind you they had one done on their own, but did not share the official findings with me other than to say that it was consistent with me striking something in the water or rope or cabling getting attached to the propeller. I provided my insurance company with the surveyors report that I paid for and they are not going to pay any portion of any claim. I’m trying to be reasonable, but I do feel the yard is somewhat responsible for this. I am hoping that they will at least meet me part of the way with the repair cost. I have disputed this with my credit card company. They don’t seem very happy about that. I guess only time will tell what’s going to happen this repair is going to be in the 10k-15k range.
One thing I took from working on aircraft. Always witness mark bolts after tightening. Glad to hear you are getting some good news.Just an update. Boat should be ready this week. Credit card has returned money from repair as they investigate. Current repair yard said two bolts were hand loose on the starboard shaft coupler and two could be turned easily with a wrench. Also mentioned that shaft was not properly dimpled. I was hoping to get some pictures of this but he said it was difficult to do so. I am trying to get a statement from him as well so
I can add it to my survey that I already submitted to credit card company.
