PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant VBA_SCRIPT - assumed 'VBA_SCRIPT' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in ..../includes/functions_navigation.php(802) : eval()'d code on line 1 motor out of alignment
Cleaning motor the other day i noticed that when motor was trimed all the way down it was sitting very close to the l/h side motor support and a large gap on the r/h side . As i have not hit anything and i use a h bracket when towing i thought i would have it looked at.The steering is okay & the trim works with out any problems & I was told it would not be a problem but i could have the steering shimed to fix the problem . Has any one got any idea`s on this problem or have had this happen.
I guess the obvious question is, "can you look at another motor the same"? maybe it was alawys like that and you have just noticed it, from what I read, you are saying that the motor is not centred in the transom brackets, correct? if it has moved, you would think there would be a noticable gap at the top, the brackets are bolted to the transom, so cannot move, the only way for the whole motor to shift off centre is for (somehow) a bush or centering "thing" has broken and fallen off, (I think)

Reason: sad spelling
What i have been told is that when serviced last the steering may of been removed and the shims not back in same place .Motor is still under waranty and rep has looked at it
A new motor under warranty and you haven't hit anything I'd be putting the ball straight back into their court Brian.
Maybe they reversed it into a brick wall, replaced the smashed prop and sent it off to you with a bent swivel pin.
I'd be all over it like a manic CSI to find out why, if you're not that way inclined I'd get someone else to look at it and tell you WHY?
yes i have emailed mercury to find out what they have to say as i never spoke to the merc rep .If no luck with them maybe a insurance claim as i do not no what caused it and i will be pushing for some answers . If i knew i caused the problem then i would not have a problem .Thanks for the reply`s
