Strut alignment, Freedom 39 PH
Posted: Sun Apr 12, 2015 9:58 am
Our strut is not in proper alignment with the propeller shaft and shaft log, thus causing wear on the cutlass bearing. Yes, we have adjusted the engine and shaft as much as possible, and we're still off. Looks like it might have been a day one issue, there's no indication that there's been any damage. We've only had the boat for 1 year/1500 miles.
The strut is held in place on top by 4 nuts, but the bottom is unknown. It is glassed in. Does anyone know how the strut is designed, and how much glass we will need to remove in order to re-align it?
Thanks
