Re: omc alignment

Seawolf, I have never done an OMC but I'm sure it most be like any other. It is not rocket science. Just make a shaft with the end turned down to fit snug in the coupler,meke the rest of the shaft about 1'4 of an inch smaller than the gimble bearing I.D. Insert the shaft into the coupler and measure the clearance between the shaft and gimble bearing at 4 quadrants 90 degrees apart to see if they are equal. If not equal you have a visual reference to determine which way to adjust the front motor mount/mounts
