cutlass bearing

Hello: I am having trouble determining the dimenions of my cutlass bearing. It does not seem to have a metal outer sleeve. My boat is a Cal 31 (1982). I have measured the OD of the bearing as 1-1/8, but all the cutlass brgs. I have seen are listed as 1-1/4 OD. Can anyone help me with the dimensions. Thank You,

most cutless bearing are named after 'Red Fish' 'black finn' 'Halibut' (morse) ... your old bearing is STILL in side your bronze prop shaft ...take a sawzall and carfull cut though old bearing then pull it out at on will be the name 'Salmon' stamped on out side of the bearing case ... that could be WHY yer 1/4" off.. good luck most yards charge $150-$300 berings $35-$85.

Problem is I have to drop the rudder to remove the shaft. I have a puller to remove the brg with the shaft in place, so I cannot cut the brg. Shaft is 1" dia. So I need to know the dimensions of the brg, especially the OD. --- On Fri, 3/26/10, Helen Horn <he… [at] sbcglobal.net> wrote: From: Helen Horn <he… [at] sbcglobal.net> Subject: Re: [Cal_Boats] cutlass bearing To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, March 26, 2010, 12:32 AM most cutless bearing are named after 'Red Fish' 'black finn' 'Halibut' (morse) ... your old bearing is STILL in side your bronze prop shaft ...take a sawzall and carfull cut though old bearing then pull it out at on will be the name 'Salmon' stamped on out side of the bearing case ... that could be WHY yer 1/4" off.. good luck most yards charge $150-$300 berings $35-$85 .

I have always dropped the rudder to replace cutlass...edward (you must pull the shaft or so I thought) From: Robert Weiss <ly… [at] yahoo.com> To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Sent: Fri, March 26, 2010 6:47:12 AM Subject: Re: [Cal_Boats] cutlass bearing Problem is I have to drop the rudder to remove the shaft.

Was down at the yard today, and at one point just grabbed the propshaft and pulled, and it moved. Don't remember that happening before, but who knows at this point, I'm old and memory isn't what it used to be. Anyway it wasn't much, maybe a sixteenth. ?, or am I just borrowing trouble? About 3 more full work days and I'm ready to splash. Won't make Memorial Day, but the week after should work.David Dobbs
