Today I gutted the hull in anticipation of my new motor, etc...i pulled the brass tube out to clean it up and saw that it is slightly bent...is this normal? I thought maybe it was to compensate for the angle of the power module installation....

Yes, you are correct. it will have a gentle bend in it. The motor is mounted at a slight angle, the flex drive exits on approximately a level horizon.
