Howdy

About to change the engine mounts, and thinking through the job ahead.
Apart from the obvious....how to lift the donk....thinking car jack under motor somewhere...please advise if other. Not sure if car jack off hull is the greatest idea, will place pad to spread load.

More importantly, understand shaft alignment is critical, so with my set up I'm a little confused:

Setup

Bukh 24 and gearbox with output shaft connected to 2 x Uni's then V drive
V drive on pivots across the beam of boat
Output from V drive, ridged coupling to shaft/drip less gland

I can easily understand Prop Shaft to V drive, however how do you align motor via 2 x uni's to V drive? Will the uni's just self align, or am I missing something completely?

1 uni , its basic to align, however uni back to back with a uni, is it the way to uncomplicate shaft alignment ?? Or is there a way to align with all the wobble of uni's?



cheers
