cutless

I have a 1989 Ericson32-3 and I have to replace the cutless bearing. I know the bearing is 4 inches long and the shaft is 1 inch. Does anyone out there know the outside diameter of the bearing. I need to get one ordered so any help is much appreciated. Dan Callen Ericson 32-3 Andiamo

Hi Everyone - long time viewer, first time poster. I'm in the middle of a cutless bearing project and wanted to bounce a few questions off the forum: 1) Set Screws: There are no set screws on the existing strut and bearing - appears to have been a pure "press fit". Folks at the boatyard are...

how hard is it and what does it cost?

We are replacing the propeller strut on an Ericson 36C, which also means a new cutless bearing. The bearing we purchased has a clearance of several thousands of an inch (haven't actually measured it) to the propeller shaft. Shouldn't there be zero clearance? Shouldn't it be an interference...

What ever you do, do not run over the floats of a fishtrap in Pureto Rico in the middle of the night. We did. At about 2300hrs we on our way off shore from the s/e end of Pureto rico headed for Sun Bay in Visquez (Spanish Virgins) motorsailing into 12kt winds 4-5 swell all on thr nose (noserly)...

Does anybody know the cutless bearing size for an e 38 and is there anything I should know when replacing it. I am going to pull the boat next week for a coat of paint and would like to have a cutless bearing on hand as I don't know if it has ever been replaced.

Can the cutless bearing on an E-27 be removed without disconnecting the propellor drive shaft??? Thanks chris

Has anyone found a good source for a cutless bearing? I have only found West Marine. They do not stock the one that fits the E27. Thanks for your help.
