One step closer to launching this year (only another 20,000, 5 minute jobs to do). Replaced the original Volvo seal with a PSS, and Cutlass bearing as well. I had mentioned in another post that I thought I'd have to build up my stern tube, but after checking around found out I ordered the wrong bellows, (the right size is the one on the right in the picture, and wasn't available from my local dealer). so all is coming together, chopped off the pesky nipple that resides aft of the original and filled the hole with epoxy,. I still have a few things to tidy up, as the photo's show, one being the hose that the original po had to lube the Volvo seal, I will plug that. Interesting that the Beneteau cutlass bearing is solid rubber, with no bronze outer casing.
