Drive shaft bushing "toast"!

[Canuck 16]

Hey guys!<br />Dropped the foot on my 89 200hp xl shaft today to change the water pump.The drive shaft bushing fell out in pieces . The shaft, in that area has some scoring rings, not real deep, but deeper than I could ever get out with emery cloth!<br />If I smooth the shaft as much as possible, and replace the bushing, do you think the new bushing will survive?<br />Thanks for any help...

Is there any reason this bushing is so expensive? From the broken parts that fell out, it looked like a rubber ring with a steel sleave.<br />The local Yam dealer I ordered it from called me to make sure this was the part I really wanted. Says it is a $110 bushing, even surprised him as he and I were expecting a 20-$25 part??<br /><br />Canuck 16
