alignment of twin bravo drives

Toe = Nose cones of leading edge of drive/s.
There's been a couple of posts on different boards relating to the same topic. Many, many different opinions, as usual depending on make model yada-yada. As a "rule of thumb" if drives spin out no more than1/8" toe out (drive cones out further than the propless propshaft measurements).
If props spin inward, toe in no more than an 1/8" (tips of propless shafts out further than the center of cones). Various reasons, but that's the gist.
Start with dead even (cones/shafts exactly the same distance apart) note performance/handling, then work out/in depending on props rotation in 1/16" increments, or if feels great even leave it alone.
