[Public-list] Cutlass bearing housing

[Mike Lehman]

The housing screws onto the shaft log (the bronze pipe that goes through the 
hull). The 2 bolts screw into the fiberglass of the keel. It is a good idea 
to replace them with new ones. I use 3M 5200 to install the housing - others 
will shutter at that - but, with a little heat I have never had problems 
removing it.

Hey yall..
   I have a couple of questions about the cutlass bearing housing on Caprice 
A30 #388.
   After many short words echoing in the marina, I finally removed the prop 
with a prop puller.  Then I tried to pry off the housing, I finally figured 
that it screws off. DUH..  I hope it didn't screw up the thing that screws 
into but it did pull out around a 1/4 inch and pop back in.  The housing is 
at a shop getting a new cutlass bearing installed.

   Does anyone know what is it that it screws into?  And secondly, when I 
put the housing back on, what if any sealant I should use.  Also, the brass 
screws holding it place looks like they had some type of sealant coating 
them as well.

   Any recommendations would be appreciated.

   Thanks,
   Bobby
