The cutlass bearing puller I have is for a CSY and I not the same as Gordy posted. It can be used on any boat that has a shaft and shaft log that extends through the hull and the shaft is not suspended by or runs through anything else. The cutlass is in the hull or keel. I can even pull the cutlass while underwater and reinstall a new one in a ...

Apr 24, 2015 · I've changed cutlass bearings using a tool called a Strut-pro, a threaded puller that presses the old bearing out and then the new one in with the prop shaft in place. The other method requires pulling the prop, disconnecting the shaft coupler and pressing the shaft out of the coupler and removing the shaft, then cutting the bearing to remove it.

Mar 22, 2024 · something's amiss here. Ran boatyards most of my life. We always used Durant machine company puller etc. We pop the prop off and press the old cutlass out. Pop the new cutlass in the freezer for a few hours dip it in dish washing liquid and tap it in using the old cutlass as a drift. A couple of hours all done.

May 2, 2016 · Check your engine mountings, replace all cutlass bearing, check the shaft for wear, if there are worn spots and if both ends are tapered you can change the shaft end over end. Check your shaft log because this is the perfect time to change it, I fitted a new Deep Sea Seal when I did mine and it's brilliant.

Jun 9, 2021 · My cutlass bearing is in a tube extending back to the hull so it is not possible to use a puller. The current replacement method is to remove the prop and then the shaft and then damage the cutlass bearing until it comes out.

Sep 29, 2017 · Has anyone used the Strut-Pro or another brand of cutlass bearing puller? Yard wants 3k to replace all four of these. Would like to already have the new bearings when the boat comes out of the water. Does anyone know the correct sizes for a Marine Trader 43 MY? Daniel

Oct 12, 2015 · I have the cutlass bearing £60.00, I'm also taking the opportunity to replace the stuffing box with a PSS seal as the shaft will be pulled. £ 275.00 A new plummer block (pillow block, mid shaft bearing) call it what you will from an industrial supplier was £19.00, (2 thirds cheaper than a marine supplier)

Feb 10, 2012 · That boat had V-drives and the shaft couplers were difficult to get to to separate so I used a Strut-pro puller and can highly recommend it. It took me 45 min. a side after the props were off, but I'm old and slow and it was a hot day. An even better way would be to find a strong 20-something with a willingness to pull away at a wrench for a while.
