Looking to replace the cutlass bearing
on my 1985 35 mk3.
Any info would be helpful.
Does the rudder have to be removed or will the shaft slide by it?
Is there a special tool for removing it without removing the shaft?
Thanks

Gerry, I had my cutlass bearing replaced a few seasons ago. I had to
remove the prop and the marina had a special tool that pressed out the
old bearing and then pressed in a new one without having to remove the
shaft. The answer is yes, such a tool does exist. Ask around and
hopefully you will be able to find a marina who has the tool. It makes
life much easier.
