Split bearings
When it is time to replace the propeller shaft stabilizer bearing have a look at: http://www.craftbearing.com/bearing.html for a split bearing that can be installed in the middle of a shaft without tears :-) -- Cheers, Bruce |

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. Wilbur Hubbard |

One might even be inclined to ask, "How ever could you possibly know?" -- Cheers, Bruce |

The renewal bearing was slightly MORE under than the whole thing was over, but to tie up 2K in an original and a repair/renewal wasn't what I had in mind :{)) L8R Skip, stuck on the @#$%ER^&*()_*&^%$T# bolt in the shoe -- Morgan 461 #2 SV Flying Pig KI4MPC See our galleries at www.justpickone.org/skip/gallery !

I saw one on a Dutch boat with a similar situation - long shaft from the transmission to the stern tube. The owner asked me how to check the shaft for run out and I loaned him a magnetic base dial indicator and visited with him while he checked it. I understood that he had recently install a new one and suspected it might not be aligned. (You may not know it but the average Dutchman is "careful" with his money :-) I assume that your shaft size is, what? 1-1/18- 1-1/14? I'm going to Singapore in a week or so and as they have a really good business locater system I'll take a look. If I can find a decent price I'll get the make, model, etc. It might be a help. -- Cheers, Bruce |
