i don't have the installation manual, but i would think a rough alignment would be appropriate. rit -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 1:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Liveaboard] opinions sought on flexible shaft couplings
I assume it has to be aligned prior to installing the "flexible" parts? -----Original Message----- From: Rit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, 16 Jan 2008 1:27 pm Subject: Re: [Liveaboard] opinions sought on flexible shaft couplings I'm hoping its easier.

I feel it contributed to a reduction in engine vibration and noise in the cockpit. Installation was pretty simple. With my boat's keel configuration there was plenty of room between the prop and the leading edge of the rudder, so I was able to simply separate the shaft coupler and install the flexible coupler inline without having to shorten the prop shaft.
