[C320-list] cutlass bearing replacement

[John Zienda]

Barb and Bob,

Yes, you have to pull the boat out to do this.  If you have a proper tool ( I believe we have one in our tool rental program) following some instruction, you could do it yourself.  Hiring the local yard mechanic will cost you around $300, if boat is pulled out.

Question - does the boat have to be pulled to replace it or can it be replaced in the water. What are your thoughts?  Thanks.
