Removing cutlass bearings is fun.

Get out of the kitchen....

Did you try heat before surgery? Be sure they can identify what bearing will work before they do the bore... Don't ask me how I know. But it may save you from replacing with a larger shaft.

Scandia knows their chit. They've been in the prop/shaft business since the beginning of time and do beautiful work.

I'd recommend them before ANYONE else for prop/shaft work/repair/anything.

Interesting that its a 10" strut bore but only a single 4 1/2" cutlass. The extra support is certainly nice to make sure there's never any vibration. (even after 35 years)

I think cutlass size is determined by shaft diameter. I think. Been too long.

shaft dia/strut bore

lengths are all pretty universal

I cut a turkey in half with the sawzall after the cutlass.
Different blade.

Just to add about shafts/struts/props, this is the prop I ended up with from Acme:



Half the price of Michigan and twice the performance from what they spec'd for me.
