Now that I have made the holes in the hull for the shaft log and P bracket it was time to double check the alignment of everything with the centre line of the hull. My home handyman Laser level is not bright enough to do be able to see the line in daylight but at dusk the lines light up on the hull.
I am very pleased with the check as the holes for the shaft log and P bracket were right on the centre line. The laser beam even went through the shaft log hole and shone onto the centre line mark for the engine and onto the bulkhead at the aft of the saloon.
From inside the hull I could look up through the keel bolt holes and see the laser beam passing across the centre line bolt holes.
Meanwhile the shaft is back at JBC Engineering having the three bladed feathering propeller fitted and the rudder stock is being fitted with the steering quadrant for the autopilot.
Using the laser level to check the alignment of the shaft log and P bracket on our Didi 40 Cr.
The laser beam shone through the shaft log onto the centre line of the engine bed.
