Hi Lucas have you used a dial gauge to make sure the flange and shaft are running parallel before you connect flange .
I will check later today. I am painting the bottom at the moment.
Don't know how to adjust the engine position! Sounds like difficult as the engine is extremely heavy. It's inboard Volvo Penta TAMD61A, it's 5.7L, 306 horsepower. I don't think I can move it even 0.1mm.
Sure they have them, The alternative is a locking tab washer. Between the nut and prop it is a large washer with a tab that goes into the keyway, then you fold the washer outside edges onto the nut flats to stop it turning.One more trouble! The propeller locking nuts and pins are taken by the boatyard technician, and today is a bank holiday! Hopefully, they are keeping them as I booked the relaunch this Wednesday morning! So I only have tomorrow to find out where they are. Or shopping around to get new nuts and pins in just one day!
