Speaking of broken prop shafts. A couple of guys were at the Mendota Slough a couple of weeks back testing and one of them broke his shaft just like you describe. Brand new prop lost in the mud.
As much as I don't like the idea of breaking a shaft, the idea of loosing a prop is much worse. We cracked a prop at the season opener in 2012 and by feb had resigned to the idea that the season was toast because we couldn't track down a prop. Luckily Brent from Props West DONATED his time to help use work our way thru getting one into shape, and get us set up with a reasonable working spare as well.
