[Alberg30] Engine Alignment

[Mike Lehman]

The proper way is to bring the two flanges together and with a feeler guage 
go between the coupling flanges. The max should be .004" tolerance. You may 
need to adjust the engine on the mounts until you get this lined up. With 
all the stuff that I do on the boat, this is the part I have a professional 
do.

Why is Nothing easy!!!!!

When I got the propshaft/stern tube assembly back in, I found I had to
deflect the shaft about  1/8 inch + up and to stbd to get the shaft into the
shaft/engine coupling. This seemed like alot. Silly to ask if this is too
much to leave, I assume. I banged the shaft completely into the coupling,
then disconnected the coupling from the engine so as not to deform the
cutlass bearing until I figured out what I had to do.

What is the best method to align the engine and shaft on our boats?


Thx,
Lee
