[Public-List] Stern tube

[Andrew Johns]

I think you will have to haul out to fix this one...

If you have a cockpit floor access hatch or (add one) It is possible to
re-bed the stern tube without removing the engine, but it does involve a
bit of boat yoga.

When I removed the bearing housing the 54 year old sealant crubles when i
removed it and the stern tube came with it.    I removed the propshaft  and
rebedded with 5200.
