[Alberg30] Cutlass bearing removal

[Kevin Blanc]

I bought a Morse bearing - I believe it was the Barracuda model (the 
model is indicative of the size of the bearing). It'll be $55 or so.

I previously had a different model with MUCH thinner metal and thicker 
rubber. I believe it was a Goodyear bearing. It was very difficult to 
get out of the stern bearing because when you removed the stern bearing 
the metal of the cutless was not thick enough to extend inside the 
threads on the back of the stern bearing.
