Alright, thanks everyone for the input. We have spent a bit of time running the boat at various speeds and observing the shaft. When running at lower speeds, we do occasionally (but not all the time) get a bit of whip in the shaft observable at the PSS shaft seal - the recommendation from my mechanic and the shaft supplier is to install a pillow block just ahead of the PSS. That will reduce the unsupported shaft length to within recommendations.

I'll post my progress but it won't be until December at the earliest!
