Either play in the bearings and the preload has come lose, or a shim isn't correct and there was never a preload in the previous assembly, all taper bearings have a preload, as do all gears have a meshing mark.
If it's the same as an outboard (and I guess it is) the shaft is forced upover when it rotates and the slop is normal. So to check bearing feel you need to pull up and rotate
Did you find out if this is normal? Im redoing the seals on my unit and the shaft and bearing have almost the exact play in them as this video. I was also wondering if it is forced up into place under load
That shouldn't happen, it sounds awfull and until youve assembled it you cant tell. You shim inner or outer to bring the meshing of those gears to be correct.

Hi,
Could you solve the issue? I guess I am facing the same.... thanks..
No it should be steady no slop, the preload is 65 lbs, check it, if it’s ok, you’re bearings are shot, guess you know that by now.

Change too bearing it’s shot …..
