Yanmar/Dripless Shaft Alignment

[Snowtanned]

Re-rigging a C400 MkII with the standard Yanny 4JH3E and a PYY dripless.

Question: after we get the rigging finished do I need to worry about shaft alignment like we did pre-dripless? Or does the bellows take care of it?

Thanks in advance for your help.

The bellows has no bearing at all on shaft alignment. You should check alignment once in the water and the rig is fully tensioned and if necessary adjust the alignment.
