At a short haul out to clean the bottom before the summer I noticed for my opinion to much backlash (hope it´s the right word ;-)) in the cutlass bearing, especially on port side. So idea is to replace them at the next planned haul out.
But unfortenatly I cannot find the right dimensions. I have a parts manual, but I can´t find something there.
I could order 1 3/4 (shaft) 2 3/8 or 2 5/8 (diameter bearing) 7 (length) , but which is the correct one?
Help needed! :smt100
We run the boat now for 2 years and over 350 hours on the engines in this time. It was the best decision we could make.
It is the perfect boat for a family not only for the weekend. Spend 5 weeks in August and the beginning of September for holiday on the boat and had a great time. The longest non stop trip was about 140 NM from Terceira Island to S. Maria Island here on the Azores. No issues with the engines, everything working fine. We are only doing normal anual maintenance. Oil change, zincs, bottom paint, next winter cleaning of heat exchanger and aftercooler ...
