Coupling Alignment 2

[@malachy1847]

@pwcundiff Your right on there.....even a small lowering on the front will allow for the closure of the gap bigtime on the bottom of the coupling...... and as you say then you shim up all four feet to make the couplings concentric...which would be half the offset on same....

I´m agree with megamayers. You must raise the nearest feet to the coupling or lower the farthest. By the way, using feeler gauges and straight edges aren´t the best choice if we talk about time spent and accuracy.

Not quite sure I understood your comment.. but I get the angular misallignment out first and then go after paralell. So ... can lower front OR raise back and get rid of angular. Then if I have a parallel missalignment I can raise or lower all four wedges to bring in parallel alignment. Always taking into consideration whether or not I am about center in the shaft log. For example.. if I my shaft is near the top or touching the shaft log at the top .. raising the back is not an option. sm pge

Please check who wrote what... you and I are on the same page. The nearest feet are at the back of the engine. Mega thinks raising the back will exacerbate the problem in his comments. Rasing the back or lowering the front will have the same effect because the rear mounts become fulcrums when lowering the front the coupling will actualy raise up in relation to its original position and the angle relative to the prop shaft coupling will be changed. Again you and I are saying the same thing.
