Yes it was water pump shaft that broke after 25 hours.i agree trolling on one is probably best done with other engine at idle so the pss gets fluid but in my situation that was impossible because of broken water pump..I wasn't thinking about the shaft spinning with no water supply at the time because I had regular stuffing boxes on my 33 open.not sure of best way to lock shaft.i imagine pss could overheat without water.bill
