Two part question I need help with:
I have twin 91 Yamaha 200's and had the prop hubs replaced recently. The port prop is now slightly rubbing the lower unit housing. I tried the same prop on the starboard motor with no rubbing so it appears the problem may be a bent prop shaft. Using a micrometer tried to test for runout but seemed to be none to very minor?? I could file the inside of the lower unit slightly and prevent the rubbing, do you think I would have any issues?
In trying to determine the trueness of the shaft I've notice the port shaft is substantially harder to turn by hand than the port shaft. I recently had the starboard lower unit seals replaced? What could cause this?
Thanks
