[Alberg30] Engine Alignment

[FINNUS505 at aol.com]

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,
