Outboard thrust bearing for sailboat.
John,
The only Scampi I have ever been real close to had a Farrimann diesel hoooked to a Standadyne (I think) hydraulic drive. The actual thrust bearing on that is inside the hydraulic motor. The prop shaft bearing had worn and the owner got another bearing somewhere and since he could not upull the original out without completely disassembling the drive motor, he just pushed it in with the new bearing. Matt Colie john m. wrote: I have a Scampi 30 sailboat. The shaft has a thrust bearing behing the propeller that is made out of some kinda oil impregnated plastic. This is wide open to the outside. I want to replace this friction bearing with a thrust roller bearing. I am thinking that I should get an encapsulated stainless bearing but I cant find such an animal. Can somebody point me in the right direction, or tell me if this is a good idea.. Thank You |
