[Public-list] Flexible shaft coupling

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Lee,

We are using a flex coupling on the Yanmar, it help a little with the
alignment. The real function is that it saves the transmission if a line
wraps around the shaft.  Globe Rubber offers this product which is available
on line and at West Marine. If you are not replacing the shaft during this
install and everything remains the same with the motor replacement, the
shaft will have to be shortened by x inches for the coupling install.

Hey Alberg friends,
 
Does anyone have any experience with flexible shaft couplings, the idea  
being making engine alignment not so critical? I'm going to be reinstaling
the  
new engine when I get it, and if I can avoid having to do a very precise  
alignment.............well, need I say more?:)
thx,
Lee
