[C320-list] Fwd: shaft alignment

[Karl Mielenhausen _/)]

Good chance that one of your jack-nuts has come loose and the alignment is  
off. If you find the offending nut, you may get away with just tightening  
it back up.

The full procedure is here....

In addition to the necessary wrenches, you'll need an feeler gauge (old  
style with the 3-4" blades) and a piece of .015" shim stock (or 2 sets of  
feeler gauges).

Call me at 252-638-1433 if you have questions.

I have a recently purchased 2008 320. Love the boat but when motoring, I
get a noisy "rattle" from 2100 to 2900 rpms.? It has been suggested that
the shaft alignmrnt may be off.?? According to the manual, the alignment
is adjusted by? motor mounts. Has anyone done this alignment themselves
and is it a DIY type job?

Thanx
