- Action: To Do List item A0195 - Order replacement and spare cutlass bearing and install.
- Completed: 16 October 2017
- Cost: $188.97
One Johnson Duramax BITE Brass Cutlass Bearing ($72.99) - Shaft Size: 1-1/4 inch - Outside Diameter: 2 inch - Length: 5 inch and two Johnson Duramax DORIS Non-Metallic Sleeve Cutlass Bearings ($115.98) were ordered and received.
As pictures below depict: The old cutlass bearing was removed using a chisel. The internal cavity of the cutlass bearing housing was sanded smooth and clean using a Dremel rotary tool. The Johnson Duramax DORIS Non-Metallic Sleeve was aligned with the housing and set in place with the aid of a rubber mallet. The two cutlass bearing retaining bolts were tightened down. As expected, the new cutlass bearing was about one inch longer than needed and was cut shorter with a hack saw. The remaining two new cutlass bearings were placed into ship's spares.
