If I remember correctly the amount of allowable play is about 1/16".

Two years ago, while my boat was on the hard, I found that by grasping the prop
I could move it up and down quite a bit. I had the yard replace the cutlas
bearing, prop shaft, and had them install a drip less stuffing box. I'm very
pleased with the results. Sorry I don't know of the precise amount of
acceptable play allowed.
