It’s actually more common than most people think. I’d say the #1 cause would be hitting the ground while on a trailer, and / or hitting bottom while launching from a trailer without first tilting the motor. #2 probably is banging around on the bottom while beached and wave action is beating it up. OMC service manuals tell how to check the parallelism.
