[Alberg30] Cutless bearing?

[Mike Lehman]

I've done this job to two different boats and can tell you that it is not so 
easy. Instead of simply caulking the stern tube, I figured when it was loose 
and leaking it need to be removed and reinstalled. I don't have the time to 
go into the detail of this repair today, if there is interest I can write 
something.

Another A 30 'lesson'.; the 'unmolested' state of the shaft log seems to be
buried in alot of old caulking compound where it exits the hull at its
forward end.  The previous owner had taken all of that caulking out when he
replaced the cutlass bearing, and did not replace the goo. The shaft log
began to turn in its threaded joint at the cutlass bearing fitting, and 
leak.
  That was before I cut the access   and put the access hatch in the cockpit
sole.
Make sure the shaft log is threaded down tightly into that cutlass fitting,
and get alot of good caulking material around it where it comes out of the
hull.
How have other A 30 owners handled the caulking situation when they have
redone this job?
