So I've taken the lower unit off my 1997 Tohatsu 120HP 2 storke outboard to inspect unit & replace impeller when I noticed something alarming with the drive shaft. The drive shaft is rubbing against the top of the plastic impeller case. it appears as though the shaft has lost a small amount of circumference, not much maybe .015" enough for you to clearly feel it when you rub your finger over it and its smooth shinny metal. the plastic on the inside of the impeller case is also warn down a little. is this an indication of a bent drive shaft or something else? what can i do about this?
