[C320-list] Cutlass bearing and...

[Russell Monaco]

dave-
 I read this with great interest I intend to do the same thing this March/April, does anyone have any tips for us??  DO we have to drop the rudder?  What about the shaft?  WHo did you order yours from, what size (length) is it?

There is no way I can see to get the new shaft in without dropping the 
rudder.  It is not even close.

(Some folks have been able to make this work - I sure would appreciate 
knowing the magic involved.  Or maybe it just varies between boats.)
