You mean the prop shaft? Are your gears ok or do you need new ones? Try ebay or used engine salvage yards.

Just because the drive shaft is scarred or rusty does not mean it is trash. The only criteria is that it be smooth where it enters the water pump housing at the seal & down thru the water pump into the lower unit. The area that it travels thru the exhaust housing is imatterial as to the condition. It also needs to be cleaned & re-greased at the upper splined powerhead crankshaft area.
