I have a mis-aligned prop shaft and need help correcting it. I can see some scoring on the shaft at the stuffing nut. I can also see that when at low rpm, in gear, that the prop is clearly not spinning straight. I think the engine is too low for the shaft. I have read in a thread that the tail wags the dog and I kinda get it but my question is, How much much authority does the tail have over the dog? Should I un-couple and then raise the engine to meet the shaft coupling where it sits naturally?...or, is it ok to bring the shaft coupling down to meet the drive coupling?
Thanks much
