How much outboard prop wiggle is too much?
I have a Yamaha 20 outboard. The prop shaft (by wiggling the nut) wiggles a tiny bit from side to side, no in and out.

Would that be normal, or should I look into a replacement of the bearing/seal?

We have used it pretty much daily for the last 5 years. Trips under a mile, to the shore and back.
