When it is time to replace the propeller shaft stabilizer bearing have
a look at:

for a split bearing that can be installed in the middle of a shaft
without tears :-)


If an auxiliary sailing vessel is so poorly designed that it requires a
bearing to support the mid-portion of a long shaft then it's a stupid
purchase. One should never have any need to replace a propeller shaft
stabilizer bearing because one should be wise enough to not purchase a
vessel that has one.

One instance of poor design probably indicates there are several more
minefields to be discovered.

An interesting comment for someone that doesn't own a boat with an
engine in it. One might even be inclined to ask, "How ever could you
possibly know?"
