[Surcouf]

So... I went the ugly way... the cheap way? The lazy way? I took my metal file and ate those 0.05 on the engine shaft side. And slowly I was able to «*close the gap*» between the couplings (prop shaft coupling (the frozen one), and engine coupling flange). I also «*plied back*» just in case the 2 tabs of the nut locking washers that I had not used.

And it seems to work. We will see tomorrow again if alignement is good.

Next question for you guys: out of the 4 engine mount, I have 8 screws fixing them into the boat structure. One of those 8 screws (bolts?) seems to be «*freely turning*», without biting into the wood beam below the fiberglas. What is the solution here? Fill the hole with small pieces of wood and try to screw same size bolt again?
