Outboard thrust bearing for sailboat.
"Steve" wrote in message ...
To me, this is a bit confusing?? Does your boat have an inboard engine with a propellor shaft?? or are you talking about an Outboard motor or Out drive?? A properly installed marine engine will have the thrust bearing in the reduction/reverse gear. If it is an OB or Out Drive, the thrust bearing is inside the lower unit. I've never heard of a thrust bearing at the propellor. There should only be a water lubricated cutlass bearing. Please provide more information on what you have, engine/rev. gear, etc. and maybe we can figure a solution. Steve s/v Good Intentions Here is a link that shows a diagram of the boat http://home.worldonline.dk/sejler/scampi/scampi.htm This boat has an hydraulic drive system. The brace that you see in front of the impeller is where the bearing should be ( I think) It looks like a very strong support made out of metal and imbedded in the fiberglass. |
