I agree.

as long as you can silde the bearings on freely and the spindle is not bent or overheated use it. Also important is the surface where the seal rides on, this should be perfectly smooth

looks like someone took a hammer to it trying to get a stuck bearing off

happens all the time

If it were mine, I would change out the spindle or axle as needed.

But to each his own.

Axles are cheap, Boats are expensive.

I would put a new axle in.

now that you have said that, it probably would be best to replace it as the others have suggested.
