Step 2: Hold the propeller shaft flange firmly against the transmission flange.
Step 3: Try to insert a .004" feeler gauge at the top, the bottom and at both sides between the
flanges. If it can be easily inserted between the flanges in any area, try inserting a larger
feeler gauge until you determine the amount of variance.
Step 4: While holding the transmission flange, turn the prop shaft 90 degrees and repeat step
3. A straight shaft in proper alignment will not allow the insertion of a feeler gauge
larger than .004", regardless of the prop shaft position.
Step 5: If a gap larger than .004" is found and the gap moves as the shaft flange is rotated, the
flange or the prop shaft is bent out of tolerance and must be replaced or removed and
straightened. If the gap remains at the same position regardless of the propeller shaft
rotated position, the engine must be realigned. At this point, a Pursuit dealer should
be contacted.
NOTE: The boat should always be at rest in the water when checking or aligning the
propeller shaft.
MAKE SURE THE PROPELLER SHAFT FLANGE BOLTS ARE TIGHTENED SECURE-
LY AFTER CHECKING THE ENGINE ALIGNMENT AND BEFORE OPERATING THE
BOAT.
SPECIAL NOTE: Lifting the boat with lifting straps over the prop shafts will cause the shafts
to become bent. Always position lifting straps so they are clear of the
running gear.
