It's not the bushing that goes in the end of the prop, it's a lot bigger and it seems to have made its way into the center of the where the intake grate is on the shaft. It's about 1 to 2 inches long and it's thinner on the end that is closer to the hull. Did this come out of my bearing carrier can I just slid it back up any advice would be great.

Ditto........it sounds like the rubber nose cone off the prop. The stock SXR cones come off pretty easy and usually work their way up the driveshaft.
checking in on this one, after looking again at this it is the rubber nose cone for the prop, I thought it fell off, it has just bee moving up and down the drive shaft, I check after two rides this weekend and it was in different locations each time. So should I just leave it or work it back into place and put a tiny bit of silicone on it to hold it in place?
Thanks for the advice thus far guys!!!

I had the same issue on a superjet, I pushed it back in multiple times and every time it would come out of the impeller sometimes causing cavitation (when it would make its way up the shaft). I ended up putting on a billet one from impros or somebody, had the same issue, they said they had redesigned them to use two screws and if I sent mine back, they would send me a new one. I ended up just taking it off and never ran one, never had an issue after that.
