Drive Shaft ruined?

[supercoolbabe]

I was cleaning the driveshaft of my 50th anniversary Johnson 1972 two hp 1 cylinder no gears motor. It is all pitted around where the keyway goes. It has been getting water in the lower gearcase. I put new oil seals and everything else. I hope I am wrong.

But is it pitted where the seal rides?

Yes

Plus, shaft is almost 1/2 way through where keyway goes

If it is pitted in the seal area, the easiest fix is a replacement driveshaft

They made thousands of these motors over the production years.----Not all were left in the water 24/7 in my opinion.-----Lots of good used shafts can be found.
