While changing the packing in the stuffing box (an unpleasant task), I noticed the flange/hub that the propeller driveshaft fits into - only had 2 set screws and which are safety wired together. There is a third threaded hole in the hub without anything in it. Is this normal or should there be a third set screw?
 
My 25 is the same and I have seen the same setup on a 27. Congrats on doing the stuffing box, I did mine last Fall.
