Hi fellow O'day owners,
This Sunday I went to the sea since couple of months. Then few hours later
I heard the strange noise from the bottom under motor.
First I thought prop (KIWI feathering) problem because no noise while sailing.
Went back to the home port and found out the rubber tube went out from the
cutlass bearing support. Now I think I have to replace the cutlass bearing or
the tube but friends told me that I have to remove the rudder and shaft.
But it seems the this support is somehow attached at the bottom of the boat.
And if it is, I will be able to remove the prop and support off for to replace the
cutlass bearing. Am I correct? Or any other good alternatives? Please let me
have your comments. Fair winds, Ricky
