Would anyone have an idea of the straightness tolerance spec on a Volvo SX prop shaft?

My port is within 3 thou and the the sp is within 6 thou

I ask because I hit something the other day. The skeg has a tweek at the tip and the edges of the prop fins have burrs.

When I look athe the props in gear they appear to wobble. When in gear w/o props the shafts look to run true. I may have to get the props re-hubbed?
