The propeller strut on my 87 Comp 19 is misaligned by about 3 -5 degrees. It looks like it came from the factory that way since the strut in not bent, it is centered in it's indent in the hull, inside the bolt pattern as well as the rudder steering support angle show the misalignment. When the shaft is pulled over to align the coupling flanges it is centered in the through hull fitting and the flanges align by < .003". When the shaft is uncoupled it rides on the through hull fitting. I checked the strut alignment with a straight edge and the shaft and base are in alignment.
I can not realign the strut by repositioning due to the indent in the hull. The strut would need to be twisted off angle from it's base.
Has anyone else experienced this?
