Hello 1999 Johnson 115. I had some water intrusion in the gear case and via pressure tests I have determined it came in through the drive shaft seals. I am noticing that the drive shaft seems to have a fair amount of back and forth (radial) play in it. I have seen other posts on this subject but I do not have a dial indicator to do a precise measurement. I made a quick video of the movement with a square for reference, please view it here:

Also note the shiny spot on driveshaft from contact with the water pump housing.
Is this too much movement? I have to remove the bearing / seal carrier anyway to replace the seals so should I just replace the bearing anyway?
Thank you
