Subject: engine mount adjustment



I've got some whine running under power and the more throttle the louder the 
whine. It's getting annoying. Doesn't happen in reverse or neutral. I've talked 
to the transmission/power people (Mack Boring) and they said either the 
transmission or the cutlass bearing. Suggested taking the coupling apart and 
re-alignment. The "dripless" shaft seal folks said that the seal could? whine 
if out of water, it's not. So, to align the shaft, how does one take into 
consideration the shaft load from the prop? There's not much movement, but 
there's gonna be some. Is a static alignment close enough? I understand it's 
+/- .003 ? It appears to be coming from the cutlass bearing, I likely can't 
tell until I pull the coupling apart. Any ideas, suggestions, wisdom, etc. The 
cutlass bearing has been in the boat about 4 years and has less than 100 hours 
on it under power. I do have a hefty three blade prop pushing the boat. It's a 
40' Hunter. Thanks in advance
