Jim,
Tell Eagle-Eye that that's not grease, it's RTV adhesive on the dog-bone. I stick the dog-bone to the propeller shaft with the flexible adhesive to ease the chore of installing the SD into the hull -- takes less fingers and fidgeting (technical term: chaotic motions accompanied by high amplitude oral exclamations all aimed at achieving a specific result) to get the SD into and indexed with the hull. With the dog-bone so secured to the shaft coupler I don't have to worry about the damn thing falling into the bilge as I work the SD into position.
So, you two got it half right, Jim. Good catch.
