> I assume it has to be aligned prior to installing the "flexible" parts?
Actually their installation instructions say to perform final alignment after the flexible coupler is installed. You do a feeler check between the gearbox flange and one of the bolt heads that mounts the coupler to the shaft flange, then rotate 90 degrees, measure, adjust if needed, etc. Tough to explain in a few words and without a drawing, but it makes sense when you see it. It's recommended you get it down to .010. Here's the alignment procedure (with a drawing) from their online installation manual: http://www.pyiinc.com/index.php?section=rd_marine&action=shaft-coupling-installation&sn=3 Mark Mowery Gazelle Lake Huron ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimes I wonder, "Why is that Frisbee getting bigger?"
