Alignment of engine
The following method may be used:-
Place the engine on the bearers in the hull (A) and
adjust its position until it is aligned to the propeller
shaft, both when viewed from above and from the
side.
Drill 4 holes in the engine bearers in the positions
shown (B1, B2, B3, B4). Bolt the mounts to the
bearers, but do not fully tighten (if the mount has a
cross slot and a longitudinal slot, bolt through the
longitudinal slot).
Carry out any ne side-to-side adjustments necessary
by allowing the mount to rotate slightly about the bolts
just tted (C).
Then drill the remaining 4 holes for the engine mounts
through the centres of the slots. Fit bolts and tighten
all around.
The mounts are provided with studs to provide easy
height adjustment, but applications where there
may be heavy impacts should use shims for height
adjustment.
