[alberg30] Cutlass Bearing Replacement & Zinc

[miabarchet at aol.com]

Dave ,

Thanks for the advice, the prop and stem gland came off with no problem. I 
have to drill out the set screws and they are in to stay.  I believe this is 
the first time the cutlass bearing has been replaced as the previous owner 
only daysailed the boat. I don't know where I'll be able to find bronze 
screws or bolts maybe someone has a suggestion. 

I do have a question about replacing the gland. Does anyone know what type of 
caulk/sealant to use?  A mechanic at the marina recommend 3M 4200. It's a 
polyurethane with 1/2 the strength of 5200 to allow for disassembly. Any 
other suggestions?
