I just purchased my 05 Tige 22v earlier this year and have loved every second on it. I noticed that the prop takes two hands to turn when I put a new prop on. This got me thinking my alignment might be off. With deeper inspection i can clearly see that the shaft exits the hull well towards the port side of the opening.
I took the back seat out and was trying to get access to the prop shaft but there is not much room to work. The engine alignment itself seems to be slightly to the port side in general could I try to move it slightly without disconnecting the coupler of the shaft? If not Does anyone have advice or tricks on how to access the shaft and realign as well as do I need to disconnect the PSS prior to unbolting coupler and adjusting alignment? Also what will I be looking for that would tell me I would need to replace more parts like the strut bushing or the PSS, etc. Sorry for the long post thanks for the help!
