Gimbal Bearing Removal and Replacement by Mallory Marine - iboats.com

Alpha drives suck so bad. But the Bravo is really good. Do your self a favor when buying a new mid range price boat. Get a Volvo penta SX and save the headache that the alpha's bring. The drive is a bit heaver but just far better built than the alpha and uses a more rugged cone clutch vs a lousy dog bone clutch. the impeller is also mounted at the engine block. the bravo has a somewhat similar design to the SX as well with the impeller mounted at the engine block and uses a much heavier duty clutch. 

I realize your company has been around for a long time and I value your opinion, but is twisting the alignment the "correct" procedure to test the alignment? Everything I have seen and read says Do not twist, push in, read grease marks on bar, adjust engine, rotate engine 90 degrees, rinse hair, repeat.
Does your way accomplish the same?
Thanks
