Sounds like a bearing to me (not knowing the engine though). Which way is the float? Up / down etc or in and out of the box?

How much play have you got in the shaft? 
If you can measure / describe the direction of play a bit more I can compare it to mine.
Cheers

end float
The float is along the line of the shaft in and out, I would say 4 mm which i think is a lot. although the engine runs ok with no noise. it only came
to my attention when i bolted on the new prop.

Hi Stephen
I've just been out and checked mine. No end float at all on the output shaft.
I've checked the manual too, and it doesn't give a tollerance either.
Sorry.
However, I do have two complete spare gearboxes if you need them, plus all the bearings etc.
Let me know if you need anything.
Cheers
Mike

Just thinking, is it definately the output shaft moving?
When I first fixed my prop adaptor on, the nut wouldn't lock it in place. The thickness of the adaptor was a couple of mm less than the splined
length on the output shaft. So I have a spacer washer inside and an extra lock washer on mine.
