[Public-list] Cutlass bearing...

[Mike Lehman]

There are some differences in the boats. Whitby made changes all of the 
time.

Although this is not my boat here is what my cutlass bearing housing looks 
like:

I have heard that a number of people have used a hacksaw to cut out a 
section of the bearing to remove it.

I hope I dont have a different housing than you on
#380.  When I did mine I found that I had
a shoulder inside the fitting, a friend also has a
shoulder in his A30. This precluded pressing out the
old cutlass bearing.  I had to cut out the old unit
with a hacksaw and pry it out.  When the new one was
installed I did not cut excess bearing flush but left
some exposed for future replacement  Also remember that
the bolts that hold the assembly to the hull are
threaded into flbre glass so dont over tighten them or
you may strip the threads.
