Engine Shaft Alignment - Quicksilver 810 Arvor Owner's Manual

Quicksilver 810 Arvor — Maintenance
Dry the window with a soft cloth or chamois to prevent water spots. Polish with a separate cloth.
Don't leave cleaners on for long periods; immediately wash the window. Finally, don't apply cleaners
in direct sunlight or at elevated temperatures.
To minimize fine or hairline scratches apply a mild automotive polish and remove with a soft, clean
cloth. Do not use abrasive plastic polishes.
Tempered Glass Windshield
Use commercially available glass cleaners or a mixture of fresh water and vinegar to clean your glass
windows, windshield or portlights. Dry with a soft terry cloth towel or chamois.
Acrylic Windscreens & Windows
The use of a polycarbonate protective cleaner/restorer is recommended to keep your acrylic scratch
resistant, clean and minimize the deteriorating effects of sunlight.
To clean, rinse the windscreen/window thoroughly with clean water to remove any dust, dirt particles,
salt water or environmental agents before applying cleaning products. Use your bare hand, with
plenty of water, to feel and dislodge any stuck-on dirt or foreign particles. This should be done
frequently to avoid build up of salt water, dirt and other environmental contaminants.
Using a soft non-abrasive cloth, wash windows inside and out with a mild soap and water solution.
Rinse completely with cool water. Do not use detergents. Blot dry with a soft cloth or chamois to
prevent water spots.

4. Engine Shaft Alignment

Alignment between the engine transmission output shaft and the propeller is critical. The alignment
was performed by the dealer after your boat had been in the water for 48 hours.
An alignment inspection should be performed by a marine mechanic as part of the routine
maintenance program after the initial 30 hours of operation, then every 60 hours and whenever
unusual noise or vibration is noticed. Shaft-transmission alignment should be performed by a marine
mechanic since it requires moving the engine and prop shaft.
To insure proper alignment after a haul out or dry storage, wait 48 hours after launching before final
alignment adjustments by a marine mechanic are made.
If you suspect a shaft-transmission alignment problem, have a qualified mechanic inspect the
alignment as soon as possible. Continued use may lead to premature failure.
DO NOT use abrasives, harsh chemicals, or metal scrapers
on glass.
Never use a dry cloth or duster or glass cleaning solutions
on acrylic. DO NOT use solvents such as acetone, silicone
spray, benzine, carbon tetrachloride, fire extinguisher fluid,
dry cleaning fluid, lacquer thinner, glass cleaning solution or
harsh detergents on acrylic. These substances will attack the
surface of the acrylic.
