Whoops. Hope they are changing out midshafts as well.

When I installed my Mag pump with the setback shaft I had to adjust my midshaft because the driveshaft bottomed out in the midshaft. I had to bolt the pump in with the midshaft loose and adjust it until it no longer bottomed out.

Running the wrong midshaft coupler ?
Just a little background on what I ran:
Skat setback mag pump, bought in January or so.
In August I replaced the mid shaft with a brand-new Cold Fusion shaft. But didn't replace the pump shaft, even though Carl warned me to do so at the same time.
The new shaft was installed to factory specs. Both the motor and the pump were shimmed correctly.
One month later, I pulled my ski apart and found the shaft like that. The new midshaft looked like the matching piece to it.

Yes, the concern was running a used pump shaft with a new mid shaft. Carl simply advised me to replace the pair.

Duh! Always maintain good o rings in the midshaft so the splines don't wear out
The main issue is not enough spline overlap with both of these. When you have a spline underlap, you also often have the problem with the orings from the midshaft riding so far back that they fall on the splines and don't seal water out. Poor alignment will also cause water leakage and promote premature wear.
MattE your shaft is the one on the bottom. You had crazy grooving where the orings for midshaft ride on the driveshaft. You should listen to Carl, if you have spline wear on either midshaft or driveshaft in most cases both shafts will be worn and should be replaced at the same time.
