I removed my engine and pump for repair and now I need to install both of them again. My question is do I need to align the engine with the special alignment tool? I called some shops and their minimum is about $85 just to align the engine. Do i really need this? Thanks tech

I think he ment it would be $85 to align a motor in a XP or HX.
You should have your motor re aligned if has been out. It should only take between a half to one hour to do it so check you local labor rate per hour.
You can rent the tool from SBT or buy one from them also. I did and it works great.
If you don't align the engine with the pump then you run the risk of stripping the engine coupler and driveshaft two very expensive parts. I would get it done and not try to save a few dollars.Providing mobile JetSki service to the Charlotte / Lake Wylie area.

NOT TRUE AT ALL.
All models need re-alignment if you removed the motor. Period!
If you expect to have a smooth running ski, without excessive driveline viberations and the heat that those viberations cause in the pto splines. then you must align the motor to the pump.
Pay the $85.00 and be glad it is done right and you didn't have to buy the tool and DIY.Bill O'Neal WCM
