[Alberg30] Cutlass bearing removal

[FINNUS505 at aol.com]

Mike,

I followed your advice to remove the cutlass bearing housing, stern tube and 
shaft, and the cutlass bearing, and it all worked out as you said. Thx.!!!!!

The cutless bearing that I took out was not just drilled out for the vents, 
but rectangular sections of the bearing were cut out, from the vents forward 
to the for end of the bearing. Is there any advantage to this? I would think 
that by removing so much of the bearing, it would effect the stability of the 
shaft. What size hole do you drill in the bearing at the vents? Is there a 
particular brand of cutlass bearing I should buy to replace the one I have?

Thx,
Lee
