Hi, all. New to the forum. I bought a new 2019 df200atlw2 and the dealer is rigging it. When viewing the new motor I noticed the prop shaft had side to side movement, enough to feel and hear, no in or out movement. There is no propeller on yet. I checked other engines at the dealer and they too had movement. Probably about 3 to 5 thousandths. I checked a motor that was a customers, with a prop and no play whatsoever. Dealer says this is normal. I don't see how a prop could correct this. Does this sound right, or is there possibly a bad run on these motors? All where DF200a motors.
