There is a modest amount of what you might call wobble. I eyeballed it at 1/16-3/32" when spinning, comparing one prop from the other. I didn't pull the props and put a dial indicator on it.
There are a few things wrong with the install- like the antifouling paint masking. But I can't afford a new one

not sure what this means "There are a few things wrong with the install- like the antifouling paint masking. But I can't afford a new one"
take a good look - did you notice the lower unit is new,and the transom assembly,along with the upper gear case are older ? i can see the aluminum oxide in the pictures - the white powdery stuff - its' on both the upper gear case and the transom assembly.trim cylinders are new too.
this tells me,this was an older bravo III drive,the ones that were prone to corrosion,due to a design flaw...
i'm still not sure what you're referring to ?? wobble ?
that's a standard bravo III drive - been around for a while now - pretty trouble free unit.volvo builds a similar set up...
did you check the shift ? as in attempt to shift it - reason i ask is there's a potential for problems with the bushings for the shift - this is upper gear case...
you may want to have some one proper experience check it out for you -no offense,it seems as though you're not very experienced with these power systems..."bigger custom power systems " ? care to explain ?
