So pulling the drive today on a beautiful day....first time in years no water in the bellows....<<yay>> either I finally got better at re-installing the drive or skipping the last month sitting on the water made a difference who knows. Grease looks better than it ever has.
Inserted the alignment tool and it was pretty difficult to insert the last 3-4 inches....also has a noticeable 'rough spot...or stiff spot more correct' which made me go 'hmm' eyeballing the alignment rod it looked a bit askew....got out a ruler and its a good 1/4 inch a bit less out of alignment...argh
So few questions....scale of 1-10 how much of a pain is it to adjust the alignment.
WHY would this move.....failing motor mount? no other symptoms that I am aware of.
Ill dig through the manual and other interwebs but wanted to get the opinion here as well....pics to help explain
