> 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.
