[QUOTE="Whoopbass, post: 177592, member: 2243"] The key sits between the shaft and the impeller and locks the impeller to the shaft. The drive shaft is round until you get to the bottom where the impeller sits and that is where the key is located. If the key is missing then the impeller would just spin freely on the shaft. Grab the impeller and turn the prop with your other hand. If you can't keep the impeller from spinning then the key is in there. If the shaft spins and the impeller doesn't move then someone left the key out. The key is most likely in there. When you go to change the impeller just be on the lookout for the key. Its flat but raised on one side and is fairly small. Check for blockages and if that doesn't pan out check your t-stat. Does your outboard have a pee hole? [/QUOTE]
