    I see a lot of people launch boats with the motor down. I am always uneasy about doing that, especially on a shallow ramp.

    Might try laying it across a wood 4×4 and with someone help, stand on it, lightly bounce on it. Then check drive shaft alignment. But if I had a parts motor, it would become a doner. Don’t want to ruin the splines on a good power head.
