Guy,
<p>Hope you get it done before sailing season is too far gone.
<p>With respect to a later rendezvous, that might be difficult. Sometime
between mid-end June, I'm having ALDABI hauled to Georgian Bay. Two
month cruise awaits; may even leave it there over the winter.
<p>All the best on your exams. May see you later in the season (on
Jacques' boat!).

Allo Guy,
<p>Did you damage the threads in drilling out the set screws and were you
able to get the cutlass bearing out? So long as you were able to
get the bearing out, it shouldn't be a problem tapping a slightly larger
set screw thead, but make sure you have the new set screws lined up for
thread size and do it straight, slowly and with plenty of oil, backing
off as you bore in, and make sure that there are no burrs left on the inside
shaft.
<p>When are you planning on doing this? If during the day, sometime
this week, I may drop down - it's been a while since I've been over at
CVGR. Drop me a line.
<p>Cheers
<p>Jack

<font size=-1>Problem with my stern
casting ( I think it's called a stern casting ). It's the bronze casting
through which the prop shaft comes out of the hull. It also houses the
cutless bearing. There appears to be a set screw on each side to hold the
cutless bearing.</font> <font size=-1>Here's the problem: the set screw
on one side had no head on it, probably corroded away and the head on the
other one disintegrated when I tried to unscrew it. Drilled them out. Oooops
!!! , now what ?</font> <font size=-1>Is it possible to make the holes
bigger, then re-thread and use larger set screws ?</font> <font size=-1>Or
do I need a new stern casting ? If so does anyone know where I can
get one ?</font> <font size=-1>Please help.</font> <font size=-1>Thx</font>
