Size 1" ID x 1.25" OD x 4" L. Just bought one on Amazon.com for $40.00. Also purchased a strut-pro removal tool so I don't have to drop the rudder.

I can ship to whoever may need it (just pay for shipping).

Cliff : I always get mine from Defender.  It is a "Blackfish"!!

Guys : You do NOT have to drop the rudder to change out the cutless bearing!!!

Fatamorgana:

Perfect timing!  I'm doing my cutless bearing during haul out in the next month and would love to take the removal tool off your hands as the next custodian.  I sent you a PM with my address.

Thanks,

Patches, let me know how it works out for you. 
You can contact me here for return or if you want to hang on to it as somebody may need it soon this time of year.

We have enough youth: how about a fountain of "smart"?

Lockdown of marinas and yacht clubs ended yesterday and I was able to get in to start work on the boat in preparation for launch. First task was the cutlass bearing replacement as I was anxious to try out my StrutPro tool. Worked great. Total time was 40 minutes. Now that I know what I am doing, I'm sure that I could change one in 30 minutes max.
