[C320-list] cutlass bearing

[crashley at gte.net]

My cutlass bearing was $69 and the yard charged $135 for labor while I was 
already hauled out for bottom paint. I think this is reasonable as doing it 
yourself without the proper tools looks to be basically impossible. The 
bearing had 350 hours on it, but it wasn't really that loose. I just chose 
to do it since I was putting a heavier feathering prop on as well.

We got over 700 hours on our cutlass bearing, it was a little loose the
past 2 seasons, but it never gave any problems. It's a low cost job so
go ahead and change it.

We have a 2000 and changed it this year as we noticed some play in the
cutlass bearing. If the marina uses the tool, it should take no longer
than
a couple of hours and the shaft does not need to be removed. I don't
recall
the price of the part, but I think it was around $50 and then a couple
of
hours for the labor.
