Well I was all pumped about installing a new X445 prop and when I tightened the nut the drive dog pins snapped so no running for me.
Is there a replacement pin available or should I buy an entirely new aftermarket flexshaft and drive dog?

Is this a drive dog with a roll pin? If so, just buy a new drive dog with a set screw and use that.

Do I need to notch flat the shaft so that the allen screw in the aftermarket drive dog has something to bite into? Seems it will slide on a round shaft

I'd just buy a new shaft, the stock proboat one won't last long with that prop on it. Btw larry you spelled Neu wrong in your sig. :beerchug:

What size shaft was it that the pin snapped on? The Hughey shafts use the pins. The Octura shafts use a drive dog with setscrews and YES you should file a flat on the shaft for the drive dog setscrew. I prefer the Octura shafts but have to resort to Huey's when I need .187 long shafts.
