I need to make sure my TRS drives are straight. I know to messure from the center of the prop hub. Where on the drive to compare it too. I need to know how far apart they need to be to be straight.

I dont know if i did mine right but I took two long straight edges and clamped them to both skegs. I measured the distance in front of the drive and behind the drive to get them straight. My tie bar was loose when I purchased the boat and thats the only thing I could think of to get it right.

I made these earlier this year....very simple idea and saves you from crawling under the drives to get to the nose cones.....just thread them on the prop shaft and get one of the 4 red grooves to be facing straight up....use a tape measure on the front part of the bar near the prop shaft and on the back of the bar and adjust the drives till you have equal readings front and back...then you are dead balls straight.....now you can take the bars off and adjust the toe-in/out with the tips of the prop shafts
simple and quick!
If anyones interested in a set let me know i can make some more
