I plan to lake test Sunday morning .. Have a question though I aligned my couplers and put in gear on trailer and rev to 2000 and had a small vibration .. Will the thrust and being in water cancel that out ? I plan to tram motor more at lake but just wanted some insight . Cause I wAs told its a self aligning cause it's all connected to rubber . ( mounts / cutlass ect..)
What do y'all think ?

[Okie Boarder]

Were you running it in gear and spinning the shaft? That may be what you were hearing / feeling. The cutlass bearing needs to be wet or else it makes quite a bit of noise and vibration.

Man, you are knocking this one out in a hurry. Looking good.

Yes, it'll make noise and rumble in gear on the trailer. Careful running it in gear on the trailer - you can burn up the cutlass bearings in a hurry. If you've got a dripless seal, the flush water will help keep it wet but still generally not a good idea.

Good idea to recheck the alignment on the water - things can settle a bit differently from the trailer. I rechecked mine on the water, but it was the same.

I just gave the cutlass a squirt of oil / water to lube it up .. I just didn't know what to expect on the trailer cause I did not try it in gear before rebuild ... I'm going to check Thursday dry fit again . And then Sunday morning at dock .. But yeah ! She's ready to
Get wet and play her tunes !!

Oh an how my thumbs hurt from that damn insert ! Lol that was fun

[lively]

She is ready boys! Fathers day morn I'm splashing down ! I finished up the odds and ends last night and gotta get my tags put on today ... ill let y'all know
how she floats with videos soon as I can

Good luck! I would try and put her in the day before you want to go out, that way if there is anything you need to adjust or fix (oh, and you will) that way it wont mess up your day. Good luck man.
