I'm a DIY guy. But some things are best left to the professionals. Aligning an engine is one of them.
Get some high quality monkey wrenches and oppose. If your spinning the whole unit your hose clamps may be loose or the wrong type. IMHO. Have a mechanic sort the whole thing out and you can pick it up thereafter. David F.

Bedford to Deep Cove in Mahoney Bay - approx 50 nautical miles. Left Bedford Yacht Club and motored out thru Halifax Barbour, around Chebucto Head and through Samboro passage - minimal wind and dead on the nose. Quite pleased with motor overall. I replaced a broken engine mount and the new one (a generic mount I modified to fit) was way better. Engine needs to be re-aligned - hopefully that will decrease vibration even more. Advice appreciated. I've read about it - difficult? On arrival my stuffing box was dripping a fair bit. Little more than 1 drop per second Tried to tighten but couldn't separate the 2 nuts. Sprayed a little PB Blaster - but I'll need a second wrench to counter with rather than spinning whole unit. Any suggestions? Are locking pliers OK?
