Not sure if I understand what you are saying/asking.....Assume the broken shaft was the water pump shaft and NOT the propeller shaft (surprised the water pump failed with only 25 hrs on it)..... The transmission doesn't inhibit the propeller shaft from turning when the engine is off and you are underway using the other engine.... Not sure how fast you were going...... I troll with a single engine and the other in neutral but running and haven't experienced an overheat condition.....
