Anyone know of a source for specs on the cutlass bearing for the beneteau 323?
You're in luck- "the doctor is in" due to the storm. I have the order sheet from Beneteau, but from 2010. the bearing is ordered from their SYSELIOS site. Part number 059320 , "BAGUE NITRILE 25 X 40 X 100 + L R (THE TWIST OF THE GROOVES? rON). Also a number R0932o . ir was 39.29 , with shipping. My B323, 2006, 3YM20 .

The used one has been laying around , but don't you know, I can't find it right now. BUT in the search, I found the box my tempering valve came in, so I'll find that post and enter the info. EDIT::: woudn't you know, I sat down to relax for the evening and prop my fee:cool:t up. BUT there on the coffee table was the cutlass bearing. It measures as above. It has 2 holes on each side, but only the smaller 2 of the 4 are meant for this shaft.

S/Y Obelix, I ahve just posted this response on your earlier thread:

I have just noticed your question about the source of the cutlass bearing. I bought mine through the US Beneteau parts site, spareparts.beneteauusa.com. I still have the 2018 invoice. The cutlass bearing is listed as part number 059320, and the description is "CUTLASS BEARING 25x40x100+L R". The set screws are part number 937200, and the description is "SCREW M MACH NYLON 6 x 8". I bought 4 screws so I would have a set of spares if I ever had to remove the cutlass bearing. These screws are not shown on the Beneteau parts diagrams, so I had to make several calls and send several emails until I found a Beneteau dealer that would intercede for me with Beneteau (at the time there were no dealers near me).

The cutlass bearing has little indentations to receive the screws, so little if any compression is applied to the cutlass bearing. The screws just keep the bearing from rotating or moving axially. Note that the cutlass bearing is for a metric 25 mm shaft and not a 1 inch shaft. Also please note that my boat is a Beneteau 311, which may not be the same as your 323.

@CapitalistSailor thanks for your reply, i did read the other one as well. All 323’s came with 25mm shafts and it seems to be the right type of bearing as well.

Many thanks for the time to get back to me, very much appreciated
