    Swapping out ujoint splines?

    Well after 3 months at a boat yard. Still don't have the drive on. They to took a spline only to see if it slid in right. It did, alignment right on. Drive still stops about an inch from seating. Anybody else got any ideas before the sledge comes out? Thanks Dawn a bummed out trout fisher wowmen!

    Swapping out ujoint splines?

    Just for fun he says he's pulling off those o rings and seeing if it will mount. If so he's going to a thinner o ring. That's what he came up with. I'll let you know how it goes!

    Swapping out ujoint splines?

    I'd have to look it up because he threw package away. It was ordered for the 4184822 info above. That's all I can tell you. Package said mercruiser on it. But could it be wrong? I mean like an off brand part maybe that don't fit. Does anyone know the inside diameter of one for that stern?

    Swapping out ujoint splines?

    Is it possible to change splines to a smaller diameter one. Due to wrong size circumference of the gimbal bearing being wrong. Stern stays off about an inch from seating.

    Alignment help!

    Yes it does have those keel rollers. We can find NO ROT! But there is a half inch board under front mount. I removed it and iam worried about the back hanging off of the transom. Even if the front mount is in place and adjusted the lowest it still is not aligned with board removed.

    Alignment help!

    They checked the whole boat. The only thing I see throwing off the alignment is a board under the front mount. Like it was put in later? If I take that out I think it would make the front drop to where I can adjust up a hair and not have to go down as its reached bottoming out on the down...
