Here's my idea for a drive alignment tool. You thread the rods on the ends of the prop shaft and use the red lines on the rods as adjustment references. You measure the front and rear of the red lines and adjust your tie bar till they are even ......then take the rods off and adjust you toe-in/out...never having to crawl on the ground to measure the front of the drive torpedo

obviously this is for twin applications....

Heres another idea for you guys.....if you want an easier way to fill your outdrives or lower units with gear lube....next time you have a party or are at one where you can get your hands on either a quarter barrel or one of the heinekin mini-kegs grab it. On the top install a tire air valve you can hook up to any air compressor....on the bottom side install your fill line that goes to the drive......and of course you need a way to fill the container with gear lube so get crafty...maybe have someone weld something on. I made this contraption out of a plastic 1 gallon container and it works great. The only drawback is it doesnt take allot of pressure before the side start to bulge outwards. so i strapped some 1/2" plywood pieces all the way around for support. Anyway you hook up to you drive attach the air line and shoot some air in and it forces the fluid up and into the drive.....full in no time!

Wally, kegs, pieces of wood, what??? Just go down to the Home Depot, pick up a 9.99 garden sprayer, hack the sprayer end off the tube, and attach a fill fitting with a small piece of tubing. Fill it, pump it, squeze the handle and your full. I'll post a pic later

Been there, done that with the sprayer....takes too long cause the hose is too small...and plus your re-pumping that darn thing all the time to build pressure....with mine you just attach your air compressor and press the trigger....fills a drive in under a minute

I'll try and find my plastic version of this, take a few pics and show ya what i mean

You can put just about anything in an empty propane or AC cylinder and preasurise it. Great little gadget. Even holds air to inflate trailer tires.

IF YOU GET A STAINLESS STEEL WATER FIRE EXTINGUSER
REMOVE WATER AND FILL WITH GEAR LUBE PUT NOZZEL IN HOLE AFTER YOU PRESSURIZE IT AND SQUEEZE TRIGGER
IT WORKS I FILL REAR IN RACECAR ALL THE TIME THIS WAY.
MAKE SURE YOU REMBER THAT THEY IS OIL IN IT IF THE IS A FIRE NEAR BY. LOL
