This is yet another question in the long sage of my Wildcat. Hopefully I am getting closer.
Whilst making an alignment tool I realised that the coupler on the engine I got with the boat was slightly different to the engine I got to replace it. The engine I have fitted in the boat is mounted on a largr rectangular flex plate. The origonal is a cast ally unit with the rubber bush and splines in the middle of it, the unit is mounted by 6 or 8 bolts all close together in the middle of the flywheel. Does anyone know if these having been interchanged will cause me to be having problems lining up the drive? I thought that perhaps one sat further away from the transum and that was why My splines were not going fully home. If they are interchangable there is no problem.
