[Public-List] Cutless bearing question

[Wes Gardner via Public-List]

Hi All,

Here's a link to an image.  The green circle shows the intake for water
cooling of the shaft/bearing.  My prop is too close to the "outtake" or
where the water should come out after cooling the shaft/bearing.  Just to
the right of the green circle, you can see one of the set screws that help
retain the cutlass bearing.  You can also see the new zinc.  And yes, the
bottom got painted before the boat was relaunched!

Hope this helps
