Ok thanks, the box was recently swapped on my saph and the mechanic said he thought the two pieces (splined section) should have mated up further, I think the gearbox might be off an escos, but I checked it against the old box and another one I have and the output shaft to the rear prop all look the same length, I was informed the escos one is different to the saph (with the escos flange being shorter?)

the escos out put shaft is longer, uses a different 3 prong thing, and use shorter bolts

the actual front part of the props are the same just the doughnuts are different

Not sure that's right. The thick donut has a bush for the spigots on the prop and output shafts, but the thin donut allows the shaft to go through and slip over the output shaft.
