We finally got both V8s in and have one's shaft aligned. Blame Covid-19 on the delays!!!!!!!! We don't have our Bravo one drives on yet but will soon. We did notice that bellhousings appear to have significant tow out. My cheap manual is not real clear on the correct amount that is OK. Both ODs are counter rotate to each other. If my memory serves me correctly there should be some tow-in (not tow-out) and adjustments are made using the tiller link between both motors (inside). Any help would be appreciated.THX
THX on the delays

slight tow in, however unless your boat travels above 50mph, it doesnt really matter.
