[Public-List] Cutless Bearing

[Mike Lehman via Public-List]

Bob,

There are 2 set screws one on each side that need to be removed and probably 
replaced. There are also 2 ports on the housing. These are the inlets for 
water. The bearing itself should have holes cut where these ports are to 
allow water to enter the bearing and escape through the rear of the housing. 
This is something that is frequently overlooked, but important as this is a 
water-lubricated bearing. If you are in the Annapolis area, I would have 
John Vosbury (Vosbury Marine & Recreation) do the removal/installation of 
the bearing in the housing.

I’ve got #76 on the hard and have to replace the cutless bearing. Any 
direction as to where a quality replacement can be found? Also, there 
appears to be 2 set screws on either side of the bearing housing ( shaft 
log? ), They appear to be filled with bottom paint. I’ve been told by an 
experienced boat mechanic that these are supposed to be holes to allow water 
into the bearing housing to cool it while under power. Can anyone shed some 
light on this suggestion?
Thanks In Advance,
Bob
