Having trouble to get the engine alignment correct on my boat, A 2005 Trophy 2352 Walk Around with Mercruiser 5.0 liter mpi with dual cooling
I had to replace the gimbal bearing because rain water put the water in the bilge so high, (Fuse blew in the bilge pump circuit) that water got into the coupler.
I have the needed alignment tool. Attached is a shot of the housing and gimbal with a 1" pipe stuck in the coupler ... You can see the alignment is off to the right and down.
Have spent hours adjusting the front motor mounts up and down and getting no where. I want to put a chain hoist on it so I can move the engine up and down etc. til I get the alignment close.
In googling around, everybody says the lifting eye is on the thermostat housing, but this housing is completely different than the diagrams I have looked at., I guess because of the dual cooling and the manifolds being cooled from the heat exchanger.
Anyone know where the lifting point is on this engine. or where it should be installed if I have to add one. . Or any other good ideas..
