Default Boat Problem Question

Today, he put the cutlass bearing back on the boat, and I came down to
help him put the flange back on. He put ice packs on the shaft, and I
heated the flange up with a torch. He put it on inside the boat and I
hammered it in from the outside. Then we put the Max-Prop back on,
although it took us three or four tries to get it right.

Looked at the photos and it does seem that the cutlass bearing was put in
from the inside,as you say.
So, what were you hammering in from the outside?

Several of the pics show the assembly of the Maxprop.
You seem to be using a much thicker grease than they recommend for my
Maxprop.
The stuff they recommend for mine is more like a very thick oil.
