How do you check the alignment of a paddlewheel. Mine slots into a sleeve with a watertight screw top - fairly standard I think. As I recall the sleeve has guides which dictate the obwrall alignment of the wheel and depth unit. Is this something you need to do hauled out or are you refering to changing the alignment of the wheel itself within its removable housing? |
My paddlewheel is in an Airmar unit and the entire housing can be rotated in place just by loosening the lock nut - it helpfully shows a centreline on its top, but of course the trick is guesstimating the boat’s centreline.
The entire unit can be removed and a provided blank housing can replace it - there’s a spray of
water but not at high pressure so no worries about doing this in the
water. I take it out whenever I expect to leave the
boat for more than a week. YMMV
