Hello All,
This weekend I will be installing a new shaft coupling, prop shaft, dripless seal, cutlass bearing and an Indigo prop. If the engine was in alignment prior to these upgrades is there any reason to think it will be out after I install these parts? I guess I am wondering if I will have to re-align the engine after I put the boat back in the water. The issue is I have never done an alignment and once the boat is splashed I pretty much have to be on my way back to my home marina. The yard is very busy with one boat after another being moved at this time of year and I will need to get out of the way. I am hoping I can just get going as soon as I splash and get the boat back to my marina and maybe check the alignment after a few days in the water. I have to motor for about an hour and if the engine is out will it cause any dmgs to run it that way?
The engine has not moved in the process of changing out these parts.
