Total clean and inspection yesterday and last night spent my last dime on ordering the parts that I couldn’t find elsewhere buying from Marineengines.com. They are expensive! Scored shaft will be fixed with SPF Speedi Seal. One above the water pump and one below. Inquiries showed weld/grind not a good ides on that small;l a shaft dia. (5/8″) so the Speedi Seal will work but will have to replace it every time the impeller is changed in the future. I guess I should ask on the classified forum if anyone has a driveshaft in primo condition, maybe I will do that now as it will be awhile before parts arrive so I can reassemble the gear case anyway. Meanwhile, back to working on the boat itself. See Ya Tom
Why do you figure you would have to use/change the Speedi Sleeve above the water pump? I don’t think it would be such a big deal if that one leaks a bit.
