3 sheared generator shafts in a week

Bell 206 w/ 250c20. We have one particular ship that is eating generator shafts like candy.

We have only had it a few years. The first few years were fine, I don't believe it ate any shafts (we run electric pumps with the generator so we tend to break one every season).


Not sure why this old girl ate 3 in a week. Any word of bad shafts going around? We tend to buy a handful of shafts when we run low. I think the last time we bought any was a few years ago. Anyone ever experience this?


This is a dry spline set up.
