If holding the prop does work then the shear pin is shot. There should be a slot in the end of the prop shaft for a screw drive. You can use this to keep it from spinning while you take the nut off with a wrench.

what ever happened to the no wake zones?

i would have been a little aggravated and would probably have voiced my opinions to the owner of the other boat........here you are responsible for the damage your wake causes and trollers arent cheap.

There isn't another plan (except for cutting the prop off) and that's why the slot was put in the shaft. Buy a screwdriver that fits the slot or grind one you have so it does fit.
