The shaft is not necessarily ruined. Does the seal leak? Does the propeller turn. If so, then it can be used as is. At the next haul out, shaft could be magnafluxed, if no cracks, welded and turned. If you're really worried, have another one made and waiting for your next haul out. My shafts are 1942. Monel and probably repairable forever.
