If it's sooo critical to let your hull sit in the water for a couple of days after being on the hard and then having the engines aligned/checked, then what is the effect of having your boat on a lift for most of it's life and then letting it down into the water and taking off for a couple of days?
I understand that hulls deform when taken out of the water. It takes a couple of days for the in-water shape to be regained. Does keeping a boat on a lift or in a hangar cause premature wear of shaft seals and Cutlass bearings?
