Cutlass bearing? Prior to launch? I'd put a small amount of silicone
grease on it, nothing else. It is supposed to be water cooled and
lubricated.

I was going to say,t hat I've got the whole assembly from my old Chris
Craft and I've never seen any point of lubrication on it. No grease
zirk... nothing. So I'm with Wayne on this too.

Bob, I think you're going to get what we just had. a 2 to 3 incher
that was light and fluffy. after a couple days the sun popped out and
the stuff was gone in 4 hrs.
