Mid shaft moved?

[Aaron Jaworowski]

Hey guys, I just pulled the motor out of my 96 superjet to put on a b-pipe on and re-jet the carbs. Before I put the motor back in I tried to hook up the bilge bracket and it wouldn't fit with the pump on. Anyways I just figured I got the wrong part bit them when I dropped the motor back in and lined everything up I noticed about a 3/8 gap in the couplers. I'm assuming my mid shaft pushed in but I'm not sure how or why? Any ideas what caused this or how I can fix it? Thanks

My did this too in my rickter. It eventually backed all the way in to where they weren't touching anymore. I was told it's from hitting the bottom all the time. I do hit the nose in a lot and I guess the mounts were having a rubber band effect and banging the midshaft in

So did you just call it good and ride or what did you do?

Couldn't ride it prop wouldn't spin bc the couplers came apart. I put the midshaft back where it had to go and rode it three more times and just pulled everything apart and it didn't move.
