Lower unit drive shaft wobbles

[robalofish]

Is this a normal thing. Changing W/Pump and noticed a lot of sideways play in the shaft.

Thanks

NO IT IS NOT ! !

But if you can tell us what motor you have (model number is nice) we can tell you more.

Newer models have a 2 piece driveshaft,and the upper drive shaft does have a lot of play.

The engine id a Johnson 225 25" shaft 1994
We were changing the waterpump and noticed that it seamed to have a lot of play and there was some scuffing where the shaft looks to have wobbled in the w/pump housing.
