Default Re: Inboard shaft question?

Hello,
New member here. Now work for ProLine but did a ton of inboards when I was with Stamas Yacht for 5 years. Most importantly, make sure your shaft strut is the same angle as your shaft coupling. Secondly, try to get the strut as centered in it's landing as possible, but it doesn't have to be perfect. Adjusting the mounts on the motor can take care of a little side-to-side offset. But center your rudder port. The shaft will not be removed from the ass end, due to the coupling at the engine end. It will come out, if need be, with the motor out and slid out forward.

Once install is complete and alignment done, put the boat back in the water, re-align due to hull flex, tighten coupling bolts, run motor at the dock up to full throttle, "feeling" for any undue vibration. Vibration present? Loosen coupling bolts and re-align. Good to go? Run boat for 50 hours and recheck alignment. Then you should be off and running.
