[Public-List] Cutlass Bearing and stuffing box

[Mike Lehman]

I took the curvature from the old hatch and built several templates, one for 
the fore and the other for the aft. Using the templates I made a jig frame a 
little larger than the hatch. I then cut 10 pieces of 1/2" x 3" x 27" of 
solid teak and beveled the edges with a 1 degree bevel so when they were 
placed in the frame there would be no gaps in the seams. I epoxied all the 
pieces together and clamped them in the frame. Once cured, I had basically a 
sheet of 1/2" teak to the exact curvature. I backed that up by laminating a 
1/4" of teak plywood to the underside using the frame once again to hold the 
laminates together until it all cured. I have pictures

Does anyone know where I can get a new cutlass bearing and stuffing box and
I suppose the hose that goes on the stuffing box too. I was going to turn
down a little of the stuffing box but too much electrolysis damage.



Has anyone rebuilt the main hatch - how do you get the curvature?



Thanks.
