Alignment? Seadoo XP

[benstoys]

I took my engine out to rebuild it and now that I am getting rady to put it back in I am looking for advice on the alignment. I didn't move any of the shims or anything. I would rather not have to get the tool. If I leave the bold a little loose and turn the engine over a couple times will it move to location? Or is there anyway to use a dial indicator on the pto to center it up. I really want to use the dial indicator because I like to see numbers and proof that thigns are right. But is there any way to use it?
*** Sorry there is a typo in here**** It is not a xp. (that ski is still running) It is my wifes 2002 RX

yea dont waste ur money. you dont need it. i also replaced my motor with out the tool and it lines up great.

i guess just make sure you dont move the motor mounts.
