## Discrepancy

DURING AN ANNUAL INSPECTION, A RUB SPOT WAS FOUND ON THE SHORT SHAFT JUST AFT OF THE ENGINE.  THIS IS A HARD AREA TO INSPECT WITH BOTH PIECES OF DRIVE SHAFT COVER IN PLACE.  A CLOSE LOOK AT THIS AREA AT ANNUAL SHOULD BE DONE AS IT IS HARD TO SEE.  THE REAR ENGINE MOUNTS WERE CHANGED AND THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED.
