I would say so if it was repaired to it's exact previous configuration. But, again, SR wasn't really swiss watch precision out of the factory. For me though I would be taking the installation to a higher level of precision as these installations are directly proportional to the boat's efficiency and performance. In fact, this next spring we will be pulling both struts off my boat and resetting the drive train as during the last haul out I noticed significant splay (like over an inch) between the two shafts.wow, I thank you for that but it also seems like a job best left to the pros
but, If I do have to remove our strut and it’s repairable couldn’t the existing epoxy bedding be left untouched, assuming the original strut alignment was correct? Then I could clean up the 4200 and reseat it
