Danny, Do you have a folding prop? If so, were there alignment marks on one blade and the hub? Were they matched?

The engine runs nicely but, it vibrated like crazy underway. It appears I did not align the engine. I've gotten it better aligned now but, are there any tips or techniques to adjusting this thing to get dead nuts aligned? It seems a very tedious endeavor... When I put a dial indicator on the shaft, just aft of the coupler, I can't seem to get it better than .005 of an inch. It started out at about .015 when i first put it on and i thought that the .005 may have been acceptable but, it still vibrated. I've asked the yard mechanic to have a look and align it for me. However, if he doesn't get to it this week I'd like to get it done myself before the weekend so that I can FINALLY go sailing!
