Re: [Cal_Boats] Strut on '73 Cal29
Hey Terry,
Martec did mine. I sent them my broken one and they built me a new one.
But I think you can have one made from a good marine shop. I have seen some good work out there.

Helen,
Where did you get your new strut? They’d told me mine is going bad.
Thanks in advance.

We replaced the cutlass bearing (through the strut)by pulling the shaft and making a very careful cut (parallel to shaft) with narrow sawzall blade, it then peels up to shrink the circumference and pull it out. But maybe you can realign your shaft, repair the stuffing box as well at the same time. It could be misaligned and could chew it all up. Check for bent, scored shaft, or bent strut. We needed to redo strut in our case.(Noah's Kid 74 cal 29) Helen and Edward

Yes, stuffing box. Thanks to everyone for pointing this out. Cutlass bearing needs replaced as well as stuffing box repacked.
