a proper line up shaft should be a tighter fit, but back when OMC was making the cobra, the line up shaft they used was a whole lot smaller than the merc( used the same spline size and diameter), you could line up an engine with an OMC shaft, and the merc shaft wasn't even close to fitting. If you use teh old shaft, you may have to weld a handle on it so you'll have something to grab when you pull it out

Well, I deinstalled the old yoke and it worked perfectly for an alignment tool. Slid right in, with zero force, 1 finger pressure. I see this thread is gonna get ugly with a statement like that :-X

make sure you use a liberal amount of spline grease(EP) when you install the new drive

hmmmm... One finger? Which one?

Dang Hammer, I posted 3 of em. The only thing left to show is my greasy hand after extracting it from my boat's bung hole. That's just not suitable for public viewing.

I'm gonna wait until I can get her pressure tested. Maybe next weekend, I dunno, maybe the week after. Believe me, ya'll will be the first to see her wet.
