have twin Optimax 225 installed on my boat...they appear "toe'd in"...is there any measurement to take to make sure they are aligned properly??

Measure the distance between the tip of the front of each lower unit (the bullet, or point) and then measure between the center on each prop shaft (usually a very small indentation in the prop shaft). Should be equal distance.

IIRC at merc school they said to have 1/8'' toe in. Having them toed in is way safer/better than any amount of toe out. JM2cts.
