Hi Martin,
=20
Just had the shaft and cutlass bearing out of Equinox and replaced it =
myself
with the rudder in. In my case I took the coupling off the shaft and =
pulled
the shaft out of the boat. The rudder is brand new and I didn=92t want =
to
take it out again. I removed the cutlass bearing first with the shaft =
still
in the boat this allow you enough room for the shaft to clear the =
rudder.
Same applies when reinstalling the shaft and cutlass bearing, slide the
shaft through the strut, slip the cutlass bearing on the shaft, slide =
the
shaft in place and work the cutlass bearing into the strut. Yards have
tools for doing all this stuff but in my case I used door/bar clamps to
slide the cutlass bearing into the strut, then secure the set screws =
with
Loctite and you are done.

Hi everyone, I'm re-posting this message since I've been having some =
issues
with my frers-list registration. Hope it'll work now:
=20
My surveyor indicated that I need to replace the cutlass bearing and the
shipyard where "austral" currently stays is quoting me the following:
=20
"Remove rudder to remove shaft, pull prop and shaft and replace cutlass
bearing:12 hrs of labour US$1,276 total ".
I'm told that they cannot remove the shaft without removing the rudder.
=20
Knowing that my rudder seems to be OK and having read the many posts =
about
rudder bearing issues, etc. I rather leave it undisturbed. So, I've gone
through all the frers-list archives since 2004 to this date, as well as =
the
FAQs in search of tips. Seems to me that it shouldn't be necessary to =
remove
the rudder at all.
=20
If anyone who went through this work could share some advice and =
experience
it'll be much appreciated! (I need to confirm go/no-go by next week).
