Anyone have an alignment procedure for those who are brave enough to uncouple the shaft flange from the transmission?

Most books on marine engines include information on alignment. It's not hard, in the sense that it doesn't involve any skull-busting concepts, but it's fiddly and exacting, while putting you through contortions that only a Cirque du Soleil performer can reasonably manage. I've done it on three different boat and I would happily strangle the designers of two of them - slowly, with an oil-filter wrench. Here's a concise description of the process (an excerpt from "Marine Diesel Engines" by Nigel Calder, a very good writer). Google for "engine alignment boat marine" and you'll get lots of hits if you want more.

Hey David,
I bought the book you referenced in your post as it seems to be quite excellent at breaking down all aspects of diesel. It's a great read and well explained for the non mechanic. Thanks for that.
