[C320-list] cutlass bearing replacement

[Andrew Santangelo]

I second this - the boat has to be pulled out for this procedure.

I am having Dawn Treader's cutlass bearing replaced in the next couple of weeks (second time).  Total cost: $299.84.  You are close John!

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