Alignment between shaft and gearbox are made with Shaft alignment equipment, using two measuring units mounted at each side of the coupling. If the ship is in water the Horizontal program must be used, because it does not depend on the electronic inclinometer, which is used in program EasyTurn™ (The inclinometers are affected by the ship movements in the water.). The result of the measurment shows how to shim and adjust the gearbox to get the drive line straight.
