The OD is 1 1/2 inches, and the part is available from Deep Blue Yacht Servicesunder part number BALE for about 40 bucks--one third West Marine's price andabout one half Defender's.Charlie

Hi PualM,Did you see Charlie's reply yet? The OD of the bearing is Ø1.5".Check your prop' shaft for wear around the end of the stuffing box,...you can always shorted it which moves it away from the place it's been for the past number of years.Just a thought for while you are doing this job.Have you ever had any vibration when putting your engine in forward gear?CheersBernard
