Cutless bearing
Posting about shaft packing got me thinkin about cutless bearings and
when it is time to replace them. My shaft wiggles just a little bit (almost no play) in the bearing and it is 24 yrs old. Last time I was in a boat yard, I went around wiggling shafts in cutless bearings and found a huge variation in bearing "play". Some were tighter than mine but most were looser. One was so loose it would THUNK from side to side. What is normal and what is bad? |
