[Alberg30] Engine Alignment - Vicarious Benefits

[Tom DeWitt]

Lee,  I have no idea how to solve your problem but I'm pulling for you and
I'm sure you'll get a solution. The rest of us will benefit from the
knowledge gained.  One day I hope to be the guy with bruised knuckles that
helps other folks along too but for now I'm still looking for the right A30
to buy.  I know it has to be an A30 partly because folks like you are out
there sharing. So for that, thanks.  Now get back to work ;) Tom

ps Can someone give me a hint about how to search the archives?

Subject: [Alberg30] Engine Alignment


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
