I read the thread about the critical nature of engine alignment (95 SLT 750). However, the question was never really answered concerning the possibility of purchasing or leasing the tool.
Isn't the tool just a shaft the diameter of the impeller shaft with splines on one end that mates with the engine coupler?
Am I correct in the way I am visualizing this process:
1. Pull Pump and remove driveshaft.
2. Remove Impeller and Impeller Shaft from pump.
3. Remove driveshaft support bearing assy.
3. Bolt pump housing back on boat.
4. Shove the tool through impeller bearings and observe the fit and alignment as it approaches the engine coupler.
5. Shim engine mounts for best fit.
This seems like a fairly simple tool, where can I obtain one?
