SidePower Thruster Prop Shaft Corrision

Hey all. I recently pulled the prop on my SidePower SP55S bow thruster and found that most of the threads other than those under the nut securing the prop had corroded away. Not sure why other than perhaps the PO did not keep up regular anode changes. I removed the prop to upgrade to a new 5 blade model. I checked the parts listing for the thruster thinking that I would order a new shaft and pop it in. No such luck. The only part available is the entire lower unit at a cost of $649USD. Before I go ahead and order this does anyone have experience with this issue and is there a solution?
