Good information, thanks, added to my list of useful specs.
Incidentally, did you know the correct spelling is cutless (as opposed to the sword!).
Apparently it is a trade name registered by Johnson in the 1960s (Johnson Duramax Cutless Bearings), who pioneered a rubber bearing with grooves in it to allow for water lubrication and self-flushing of the bearing with water to remove grit and other buildup. Some people claim the name came from cut-less (less cutting of the prop shaft); not sure if I believe that!
