To close the loop on this, I examined the tail shaft on a blown engine I have kept for miscellaneous parts and trying out repair procedures on.

The tail shaft on that engine wiggled about the same as the one in the boat.

I concluded that is the normal amount of wiggle. I suppose they both could be bad too...

I finished the repair and cannot recommend the MMI Tech Video on rear seal replacement highly enough.

Transmission seems to work fine now - no leaks and much quieter with the new thrust bearing.

Regards,

Peter
