Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The crew of the sailboat Catalpa performs a haul-out maintenance project in a Mexican boatyard, focusing on the removal and replacement of a worn cutlass bearing.11:12 After removing the propeller and the dripless shaft seal, the owner extracts the shaft to access the bearing.11:23 Lacking a specialized bearing puller, the crew uses a reciprocating saw to cut two relief slots into the old bearing before tapping it out with a punch and a large wrench.15:09 The replacement bearing is slightly shorter than the original two-piece assembly, so the owner recesses it into the housing and secures it with four grub screws.19:54 During the process, the owner identifies significant electrolysis damage on the shaft anode, likely caused by poor grounding while the boat sat in a marina.12:14 The crew also completes cosmetic hull work, including sanding off painted stripes with an orbital sander, wet sanding the topsides, and polishing the fiberglass to seal the gel coat.10:11
