1978 Pearson 323 cutless bearing replacement

<< < (2/2)

Hi all,

I wanted to let you all know that the Cutlass bearing was a PIA, I needed to remove the prop shaft. I had a bronze shaft and replaced it with a SS shaft and all seems well. Note, that on my 1978 you can not push the bearing out from the back with a bearing tool, the shaft need's to come out, and that was a real PIA, there is not much room to work in there. I needed to remove the V-Drive to get access. I while everything was out of the way, I also changed the stuffing box. The shaft needed to be realigned when it went back into the water. I did it on land, but that did not work.

Anyway,

Wish you all the best.

Greg
