shaft alignment

Post by pedrofalcon »

I own a 36 2002 Albin express trawler twin 330HP yanmar I'll like to know if anyone has any expertise with engine/shaft alignment
Does the boat has to be on the water or if it can be on dry dock. and if on dry dock can it rest on a three point at the keel
Or should I call Albin factory regarding this subject.

I definitely MUST be in the water. When on blocks or poppets it does not have it's natural shape.
It is recommended that it be in the water a minimum of approx. 24 hours.

Why are you doing a shaft alignment? I'm curious as to what you felt/saw that lead you to want a shaft alignment. Thanks, trying to learn. Curt

Looking for gage replacement

Post by pedrofalcon »

One of multi purpose gage RPM, Temperature and oil pressure on my 2002 albin express needs to be replaced, the temperature indicator has a needle problem.
I sent the unit to Beede instruments (the manufacturer)for repair but they don't repair it, since Beede was purchased by faria.
Doe anyone knows where this gages can be purchased or repair. Also I spoke with Lauderdale Speedometer, they said those units are sealed units and can't be repaired.
