Volvo Penta Sx prop shaft play

[Markrock123]

Took my 190 Horizon Four Winns out Sunday after having the prop seal replaced and immediately had massive vibration right off the dock. I changed the prop out which did make it driveable but still not 100% or nearly as smooth as it used to be. When I changed the prop I noticed some wobble in the prop shaft I hadn't noticed before, and also that the prop seemed to be touching the housing. When I switched props I went from a factory aluminum one that did have one small ding in it to a stainless one that also has a small bend in one of the fins. It however ran much smoother. Take a look at thus video and let me know if this prop shaft seems normal. Thanks.

Definitely not normal at all. DO not run it like that, take it right back to whoever worked on it. Looks like they made some major mistakes on that job! My old OMC Cobra has no play there to speak of !

Didn't look normal to me either. Was just wanting some confirmation.
