Drive alignment

Grahamu

I was asked by another Rinker owner at the marina this morning about twin drive alignment. Shoulld they be parralel, toe in or toe out. Mine are parralel but said I am not sure. Any input.

@Handymans342 Thanks I will pass it on.

I've read that for single-prop drives, the tie bar should be adjusted with some toe-in or toe-out depending on direction of prop rotation.  For dual-prop drives, set them straight.

Grahamu

@LaRea, yes I was almost sure  that they should be straight but not positive.

Thanks everyone , thanks Graham for posting. Dual prop, I made them parallel on the weekend and what a difference.

I noticed today that my drives toe in. Will adjust to parallel.
