All I know is that *some people* claim that the 'press fit' shaft coupling can only be used once. And that if you use it multiple times, then you risk having the propeller shoot out the back of the boat when you put it in reverse. Hence the invention of the split coupler that is designed to be reused.
Maybe *some people* are wrong. I have no first hand experience
I have no idea when this shaft and coupler were mated. At least a decade ago I'd guess.
