    Mercruiser alignment issues

    Problem started awhile back when I had a newer 3.0 installed. After it was installed I would get a rattle from the stern when stressing the u-joints (drive full left/right/up/down).

I am pretty sure I shaved about 800#s plus new laity during rework. Took it out on the lake. Running 33mph at 4500 rpm with more throttle to...
