While I was putting on my new prop I noticed that the prop shaft on my Gen1 Alpha has got about 1/8th inch of play in and out....is that normal? I just had the drive serviced, and they didn't mention anything - but I thought I had better make sure it wasn't abnormal....

Thanks!!

Sorry, I can't help you but I will say my last Gen Alpha1 had the same thing from the showroom floor. I believe it has something to do with the thrust bearing.
P.S. Good luck tommorow! All will go well. Let the boat do the talking...If you have Quick and Quiet I'd go "Quick".Don't forget to get a few "coolers" for her!
