I know there isn't any advertising in this part of the forum. That being said, my cutlass bearing went bad with another prop which I changed earlier. My diver told me the cutlass bearing was bad, and I wasn't happy about paying to pull the boat to change it. My diver informed me of another diving company in the Tampa Bay Are that changes the cutlass bearing in the water. "Down Under Dive Service" in Largo, Fl. They came out spent an hour and a half under the boat, $200 labor. I bought the bearing from this site. It saved me about $200+ to do it out of the water.

I just thought if any one in this area needs this done and doesn't need a bottom job might like the convenience. The guy was pleasant and professional. I won't give the number, no advertising, but they are in the St Pete phone book. He says they go as far north as New Port Richey and as far south as Venice. I was very happy to find out about this service. Thought you might be too.

Nice to know

Guys that do good service are always good to know about. I have replaced a couple of Cutless Bearings on boats out of the water and they can be a real bear. My 310 was easy, but on an older Pearson it was a bear. The fact they even attempted it in the water is interest and not something I would want to do. Sounds like you did OK.
