[Public-list] Cutlass bearing...

[Mike Lehman]

Gord,

It's really not a big job. Here are the steps:

Remove the prop
Remove the two bolts that hold the housing to the keel.
Unscrew the housing from the shaft log (it is threaded on the shaft log).
In the shop, remove the two set screws that hold the cutlass bearing in the 
housing.
Drive the oul cutlass bearing out of the housing. Use a socket that is 
slightly smaller than the bearing.
Force the new bearing into the housing.
Trim the excess length of the bearing
Use a drill bit to make two water intake holes in the bearing thru the water 
intake ports on the housing.
Make sure there are no burrs on the inside of the new bearing and the holes 
are clear.
Re-intall everything.

Alternate plan:
Take the new bearing and housing with old bearing installed to a machine 
shop and have them press out the old bearing and press in the new one. Make 
sure the cut the water inlet holes. The cost is minimal.

Hi all -

I am beginning to think (worry) about tackling the cutlass bearing as my BIG
JOB of 2006.  Is there data on what is involved in our accumulated wisdom?
