[Public-list] Engine alignment question

[Mike Lehman]

Since he was "head first" over the engine, it was a bit difficult to watch 
what he did [plus I didn't want to get that close]. But the process is not 
that hard. He would move the engine from side-to-side until he was happy 
with that plane , then use the adjustments on the flex mounts to move the 
rear of the engine up and down and the front mounts to get the angle right. 
He repeated the process several times checking each adjustment with a feeler 
guage until the he was within the tolerances (.004") as specified by the 
manufacturer. He said that it was an easy adjustment, since I have gotten it 
very close with my initial adjustmet. There is no vibration at all.

Mike, Glen, Pete,

Thx for the advice. Any chance, Mike, you looked over the shoulder of the
professional to see what he did? :)

'Wild Ideas' are coming to mind. Since I have the stern tube assembly out,
how about bolting the shaft coupling together, and then securing the cutlas
bearing housing in aligment with the shaft? :)

Will keep you up to date.

Lee
