Take midshaft and drive shaft out of ski.
Take your break cleaner and clean the both spine areas (male and female for each respective part) so that there is absolutely no grease or residue.
Mix up your Jb
Put JB in the midshaft splines
Midshaft back in ski
Pump back in ski

NOW, this may be a quick fix and all but this will make it so that the only two ways those parts are coming back apart is if you strip it out again(probably not gonna happen) or if you take a hacksaw and cut your impeller shaft in half then remove the pump.

Brake clean both shafts super clean, install midshaft assembly into hull, apply generous amount of JB weld on driveshaft before install. Make sure to use a very good shape impellar housing and new oem pump bearings because you will need to cut the driveshaft in half before you can remove pump for any repairs/replacement.

We machine new spines at my work. I've been told they will fail. Seize together. Weld themselves. All sorts of bs. Going on over a yr and 100 hrs and still perfectly fine. Along with countless others.

Main thing is engagement. Both shafts pictured in the beginning of this thread are wrong. Put togheyer wrong. I've gotten pics from.many people. If your spines aren't fully engaged on the entire length of shaft, or at least 80 percent, your going to have issues. This is an issue with some aftermarket hulls. And 155 pumps.
