'28 Johnson K-40 propshaft bearing clearance

[FreeToMeBoating]

Hello all -<br />This engine runs ok in test tank, but the propshaft on it is sloppy - I haven't measured but bearing/propshaft clearance (is it a bronze bushing perhaps?) feels excessive.<br />Does anyone know specs on this? Parts availability or source? Is a service manual available for it? TIA for any info.
