[C38] Cutless Bearing Replacement

[D McC]

At the yard where we haul out, they use special tools to remove the old bearing and install a new one without pulling the shaft. The prop has to be removed but no dropping of the rudder. I have never been on hand to watch this operation so I can't comment on the process other than it can be done.
