Installation
Alignment
Proper alignment of an engine and marine unit is critical, both during the initial
installation and at frequent intervals during the life of the boat. It is rather
common for a boat to change its form with various loads and with age. Engine
and shaft alignment can also change on a boat due to varying loads and the
boat’s age. The following steps may be taken to secure proper marine
transmission alignment.
When reinstalling a marine gear after a repair, or when installing a new marine
gear to an engine already mounted in the bed rails, the flywheel housing
should be checked for deflection using the following procedure:
Install the mounting brackets on the side mounting pads of the marine gear.
Install the driving ring on the engine flywheel. Bolt an indicator to the engine
block and set the indicator stem on the engine flywheel housing
