A four blade prop on a SSLXI?

I've had this issues as well on my 18' 23 lsv w/ stock wetsounds amps... another trick that seems to work is to mute speakers when starting.

It looks like you have about 1/4" or so to play with in the groove. Did you try a BFH and a punch to try to drift the key forward a bit to unlock it from the prop and shaft?

Mapgas should expand the prop and theoretically could release the bind between the prop and the key/pin.

Trying to remove a slightly damaged prop and I think the key is broken/locked.
I've gotten the prop most of the way off, but the last couple of inches are really tight. I'm using a puller and hammer and probably grinding the key over the shaft threads if I had to guess. I've tried sticking a small screwdriver in the key hole and hammering it either direction, no dice.
With the puller I'm past the point it can pull, so added a spacer but it's slow going. Going to try mapgas next, but I'm not sure it'll help since it's not "stuck", it's a busted key.
Any other advice? I'm trying to avoid drilling the key or cutting the shaft threads.....
