Can u recall the clearance around prop shaft where it exits the boat. On the stands mine was touching the bottom of the exit aperture. Did'nt notice much wear at the point of contact. Also there was little wear in the cutlass bearing. My first thought is that the shaft should exit the boat without touching the stern-tube. Has anyone checked this on their boat?//leroy
