I have a 45 with a Yanmar 75 HP. The shaft bearing in the strut is
obvious. But there appears to be a cutlass bearing in the end of the
hull shaft tube. Does anyone have experience with this.
I also have two Barient 28+ electric winches. I do not have any owners
or service manuals for these winches. Does anyone have a source?

Bruce,
When I bought Ladyhawk in 2002 I had to have the cutlass bearings in both the
shaft log and the strut replaced. I was there when the yard did the work, and
they removed the shaft from the boat and drove out the bearings using a socket
as a drift. It didn’t take them long, but they did mess up my max prop settings
when they reassembled the thing.
AS for the winches, if you go to http://www.l-36.com and click on technical
resources, you’ll find a copy of the manual for the 28+.
BTW, what’s your hull number?

I know this is an old topic, but I’m working on my cutless bearings on F45 CC Glory right now. I had to drill out the set screws in the strut because they had been loctited in and I couldn’t budge them.
The surprising thing was the cutless in the hull stern tube. It too has set screws. The hole for one of them had been filled with fairing compound which I could drill out. The other set screw was apparently put in place and then glassed over. I missed the mark trying to drill it out, so I’m going to have some fiberglass work to do in that spot. On top of that, it appears to be gooped in place.To say that it’s been a PITA is an understatement. I’m glad I started now and didn’t wait until the spring to do this job.
