Good day everyone.
I'm going to change my stuffing box and propeller in a couple of weeks. I'll also change the cutlass bearing at the same time if only I could find the size of it : inside outside diameter and length.
Anyone know what size please?

it's a 1" shaft, I think the cutless is about 4" long. If I'm up at Escape this weekend I'll get and post the numbers

And what about the length of the propeller shaft? If I discover i need to change it once the boat is out of the water?
Better have a B plan ready for action :)

Are you changing the stuffing in your stuffing box and what new prop you going
change to and are you going to do the work.

Im going to put on a dripless volvo type stuffing box. Worked perfectly on my past boats.
For the propeller i'm going to try the Kiwiprop. Lots and lots of positive points... including the price.
I'll do the work myself... knowing my local professional mechanic will not be far away if I have difficulty in getting out the old cutlass bearing. I'm changing the backing plates for my through hulls too. The PO did an awful job and they're leaking.
