Thats a yucky looking Shaft. Clean it up with that gasket remover stuff i was talking to you about. Make sure that water logged joint moves freely, they have been known to fail before.

Looking at that shaft setup, I would recommend a really good clean up with a wire brush, then tape up the shaft splines and give it a coat of primer and HT paint.
Lots of WD40 on the bolts, splines and joints re-assemble it.
I'd then warm up some vaseline baby jelly, till it's just gone out of the hard stage, but not to the really runny stage. Grab a paint brush and apply as many layers as you would like (I'd do about 5 layers) to all the areas around and over bolts, splines and nuts. As a dad I know how well it keeps water off a babies bum, so in theory it should work on this, and you shouldn't have any more problems with rusting.
Paul, How come you use silicon spray on the bolts and nuts? I've never heard of that before.
