The video gives me a good idea where to check first, and I suspect that I am not going to have to make any adjustments. I haven't really looked at my motor mounts, the 50 HP Yanmar and it's 1 1/4" shaft (5 1/2' long) probably don't put a lot of stress on the mounts. The hull is pretty short, I figure probably not more than 26' at the waterline, and that compactness should help everything to be pretty stable. IF I find things out of alignment I will probably give the local Yanmar dealer a shot at adjusting it the first time, while I observe. On the job training, so to speak :-) Thanks all...
