Got the motor shimmed up with 1/4" plates up front and 1/8" plates in the rear. I lined up the motor with the shaft bolted up to it an blocked at the rear. Got it very close to perfect thru the packing box.
Then disconnected the shaft and worked on lining up the strut.
Filled and re-drilled holes as advised.
new placement of strut
shimmed in place here. I put the packing box pack with the old stuffing inside for A closer line up. The shaft just about falls out, so I know it's perfect here.
new holes drilled.
mixed up a batch of west system with thickener and chopped glass.
I put heavy mil Saran wrap over the strut and loaded it up with the resin.
I didn't crank the bolts down just snugged them up. All the while spinning the shaft.
I know it's perfect because the shaft will slide backwards and fall out if I'm not carefull.
Should be able to remove the bolts tomorow, clean up the trimmings abit and be back in buisness. The motors will need minimal adjustments once in the water to line up the couplers.
