Quote from: justinsteele on September 29, 2024, 02:47:59 PMI recently removed the old worn cutlass bearing which was a beast to get out even with a strut pro. I believe there were two set screws on the port side and 1 that I missed on the stbd. The bearing and inside of the strut were full of buildup and I gently cleaned it all up with a wire brush. I just went to put the new bearing in place and it slid in by hand with ease. It is far tighter on the shaft than in the strut so without set screws it is just spinning freely in the strut. Are a couple set screws enough to hold this in place and is this normal? I expected it to be much more of a press fit. Measured with calipers and they are the same size. The old set screws were trash so I drilled them out and re taped the holes... hopefully there's enough meat to hold.

You coat the rudder stock in mold release, put the rudder back in the tube, and then inject rudder column with epoxy in three different places. Pray that you put on enough mold release so that there are no bare spots.

A thought

Not something put on at the factory so there may be lots of variety on what we have on our boats. May be on with mounting tape or a couple of screws depending on the brand.Looks like it is glued on. How to get off?

Quote from: Baysider on September 24, 2024, 11:36:00 AM....the "open" orange wire is part of the upgrade bundle that was installed at some point in the past. It looks like perhaps an 18 gauge wire. Was such a thin wire used running to the ammeter? The tape has what looks like an S and something that's illegible before it has tach written on it.
