"<font face=""verdana,arial,helvetica"">While installing a new pump kit on a <font color=""ff0000"">1976 Evinrude 85 hp</font></font><font color=""000000"">, I noticed that there is considerable travel <font color=""808080"">(rotational)</font></font> in the drive shaft. Holding the prop still, the shaft can be rotated close to 120 degrees. What is normal? Splines and keyways can't be worn that much so where is the play most likely occurring - thrust washers/shims ? Anything simple to add or adjust while I have the foot off?
