Stuffing Box 318

In the process of lifting my transmission up and out of the engine compartment I moved the drive shaft backwards.

The drive shaft moves back and forth very easily. Is this normal. Should there be some kind resitence

Last season the Stuffing Box was leaking a stream of water into the boat

This also tells me that the drive shaft is moving easily through the stern bearing and the cutlass bearing.

All help is appreciated.

Some resistance.
