It always amazes me when someone gets a boat to work and then they take it apart and don't record where everything was at before hand. Hopefully, he measured the angles of the prop shaft and driveshaft before he took it all apart. It is possible that his 10* strut was sitting at 9 or maybe 8.5* depending on how they had it sitting. In one of his other posts he said he had this one taking a good set finally. If so, that is where he should put everything back, unless he is planning on buying some new hardware (strut, v-drive, engine plates, possibly a shaft log).
Unless its a drop thru strut, I doubt the angle was changed much from what it is simply bolted to the hull. Even with a drop thru, If he reinstalls it with the same holes drilled in the strut and mounting angles, its not going to change much.
If he put the strut back in the same place, All the angle figuring is done. Now its just a matter of putting the boat back together.
