    Cutlass bearing size?

    Do any of you know the OD of the cutlass bearings (or ID of the struts) for a 2" shaft on a 58 YF? Paxton shows a 2-5/8" OD and a 3" OD for this shaft. Just thinking about diving the boat in our 37 deg water causes way too much "shrinkage"!

    They are "CALL" at 2 5/8"

    Sams has them but I think I bought mine from Deep Blue last time.

    Always measure after removal if replacing unless you know they have never been worked on...

    Re: Cutlass bearing size?

    Thanks guys for the information/advice. Is there anything different (size, removal, installation, etc.) I should know about the cutlass bearing in the shaft alley, just behind the packing gland?

    Re: Cutlass bearing size?

    The're isnt a bearing in the shaft log. Only in the struts. You going to do this yourself?

    I think he means the forward strut as pictured on my 56.



    As you can see, in my case it would take a different length.

    Re: Cutlass bearing size?

    Actually, I don't have a forward strut, only an "intermediate" (yes, seems like a contradiction) and the V-strut just forward of the prop. The shaft coupling is between these two struts, both of which appear to have the same length cutlass bearings. Several years ago I replaced these four bearings myself and I guess there may not be another cutlass bearing where the shaft penetrates the hull, but rather just the packing gland inside the hull.

    The 1510 X 58s do have a bearing in the shaft logs. The two struts are the same size and the log bearing has a larger (1/4"?) OD. rebel

    Thanks Rebel. Great pics. Guess I'll wait until the boat has been hauled before ordering the shaft log bearing.
