The key probably fell in to the goo in the bottom of the casing when you took the gear out. If there is a keyway, this pretty much tells you there was once a key to fit in it. I think there is a Chris Craft web site where you can ask about the shaft angle. Any boat, even in grey wood condition usually has an angle already cut into the engine beds as well as angles for the prop shaft indicated by the angle on the shaft brackets.
