Re: Stus-List Cutless Bearing
Erik, I’ve done the cutless bearing on my boat twice. I’ve removed the rudder both times. It’s not that hard and it went quicker the second time around. As others have said, removing the shaft from the coupling is usually the hardest part. I had a friend that build a jig to push the shaft out. Worked great.

Re: Stus-List Cutless Bearing
It requires medium to reasonable skills, and some luck. I doubt it that on a C 35 that the rudder would have to be removed. Problem 1: Pulling the prop. Often, you need to heat up the prop in order to remove the prop Problem 2: Remove old bearing. There are specific pullers that can be used to remove the old bearing. They work most of the time. If they don't it is likely that you would have to take out the shaft, and then cut the bearing with a hacksaw blade. Removing the shaft may have its own problems, mostly getting the shaft off the transmission coupling, which is usually quite a task. So the answer is: It depends. I prefer to give it to the yard.

Re: Stus-List Cutless Bearing
>… to hit the shaft with the slide-hammer, while it is still attached to the >transmission (I hear that transmissions don’t like this). Yes, most if not all transmissions / reduction gears are not designed for that type of shock load on the output shaft. I braced the coupling independent of the output shaft. Other softer surfaces to protect include the shaft log or seal. Good hard points to pull against include the engine mount beds/bolts.

Re: Stus-List Cutless Bearing
Erik, When we replaced Calypso’s cutlass bearing a few years ago we did the easy work and paid the yard specialist to remove and replace the bearing. Calypso’s rudder was already out for repairs from a log strike making removal of the prop shaft straight forward. Removing the rudder was not as difficult as it looked however Calypso has good access to the steering quadrant and the rudder shaft bearings. Many C’s do not have adequate clearance in this area. Pulling the prop shaft out of the coupling was the only difficult part. I ended up borrowing a slide hammer/shaft puller from the yard. If you are mechanically inclined and have the time this type of project is a good way to get up close and personable with your boat’s mechanical gear. If you are short of time and not familiar with this type of boat maintenance I recommend using the yard guy.

Re: Stus-List Cutless Bearing
Erik, I tried to do it with the rudder in place by pressing out the bearing. The thing almost worked. I asked my mechanic to do it. He removed the tranny and slid the shaft forward - he said it was easier than dropping the rudder, and he got out all of the old transmission oil. I don't think you can screw it up, but you can waste a lot of time.
