JonC Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 What type of cutlass is it? Some are rubber some are brass I believe? Rubber one is easy, the hard part is getting your prop off, that’s assuming that you’re not planing on removing the shaft and anal gland. daio web 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told to score a line with a thin grinder blade so to know where to re fit, though I’ve never needed to remove mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve done mine a couple of times, they cost about £20 so it’s something that’s worth doing if you’re taking the prop off. The first time I did it was after I fouled my prop, I had to get my prop refurbished and there was play in the shaft. daio web 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get the old bearing out without taking the shaft out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two nylon screws that need removing that are usually painted over. When we did @KennyPowers 210 there was nothing to get hold of so he used a flat kebab skewer with a barb cut into it ti dig it out. I have no experience with the brass version, not sure what you have? daio web 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is the rubber type, had a quick go at it the last time the boat was out, but didn't want to mark the shift Will try the skewer method when she comes out next 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
