What's the procedure for testing for flex? I have pushed and pulled on mine and all seems stiff but I always wondered if I needed to do a better inspection....(although I'm a little scared!!!)
First I tilt the engine all the way up and lock it in place, with me pulling on the prop he was visually check both the outside and inside for movements or flex. Note (I did this before the new transom) and yes it did flex !
On the lake he use tow pieces of 2 x4 and made a mark on the floor of the Boat , I did some 360 and WOT etc, all seems well and no flex.
