Wayne -
When I first put the motor in, the shaft had enough discoloration that
it was easy to figure out where it was before, so that didn't change.
When I got the new shaft (old one was bent), I'd already drilled for the
mounts, so, if there was a difference, it should only have been slight.
I know there is enough distance between the prop and the hull - I've
measured that since it was an early suggestion made to me.
The shaft diameter is 2", and I know there's not a point where there's
80" of unsupported shaft. There is quite a distance between the engine
and the coupler. I'm at home, not at the boat, so I can't tell you
exactly. But it seems there's about 16 - 18" there. Could that be part
of the problem?
