My boat has a vibration when the drive is turned or tilted up. I asked what could be causing it in this forum and everyone agreed with what I was thinking; it had to be the u-joints. Well, I replaced the u-joints and raw water pump yesterday. The u-joints looked new and felt fine, but I replaced them anyway. I also check the shaft and gimbal bearings and they're in great shape. I took the boat out for a quick test run and the vibration is still there. Any ideas?

What do you mean by that exactly? I'm not sure how to check the engine alignment. And how would you change how the engine is aligned? Re-installing the drive was a little bit of a pain, but I did eventually get the shaft to slide right in. So it can't be too far off, right? :confused:
