How to Remove Cutless Bearing Using Strut Pro

Frequently Asked Questions

1) How do I know if my cutless bearing is worn?

Normally, the first noticeable sign of a worn cutless bearing will be a vibration. Even if you don’t feel a vibration it is always a good idea to closely inspect the strut bearing each time you haul out your vessel, or periodically if the boat is trailered. Look for debris restricting water flow through the grooves. These grooves are necessary to provide cooling and lubrication for the propeller shaft and bearing. Try to lift the prop shaft up and down looking for looseness in the bearing. Also, look for cracks in the rubber which indicate a sign of deterioration.

2) How much can I save using a Strut Pro Bearing Replacement Tool?

Like the old saying goes “time is money”. Most repair yards save enough time to pay for the tool the first or second use. As a boat owner, do it yourself and save substantially. Plus, it’s totally damage free. Many yacht owners keep their Strut-Pro Bearing Replacement Tool on board along with their prop puller. In the event of a worn bearing due to fishing line or other debris restricting water flow the bearing can be replaced without even having to haul out the vessel. Many charter and marine service companies do underwater bearing replacement using the Strut-Pro Bearing Replacement Tool.

Feedback On The Strut Pro
"I purchased a Strut-Pro kit from you a couple of years ago and have used it many times. Love it. We have saved a lot of customers a lot of money for strut bearing replacement, and future repair bills for tranny bearings and hull/strut fractures.

Best regards,"

"We were able to remove the Strut bearing thanks to your help and Strut-ProTM Bearing Replacement Tools. I have never seen a bearing like this with an outside housing of some type of composite, almost plastic material. Again, thanks to Steve and you for your help in getting the job done as we were under a tight schedule with the USCG.

Regards,"

-Capt. Joe Harvey

"I wanted to let you know I received the kit a few weeks back and was put into use straight away. What would of been a 6 hour job removing couplings, rudders and shafts on a twin install, the Strut-Pro kit reduced to 2 hours! Magic. Really impressed with it. I have hired it out to a competitor 20 miles away from me who will be contacting you to purchase one also."

-Tom


"I just wanted to thank you for producing an excellent tool. I used the tool on Saturday and had a great experience. Once assembled, the process took only a few minutes per side, indeed my experience showed that each bearing was removed in much less than 10 minutes per side. I have already showed this to my local marina, who will probably be in touch with you soon regarding a kit. I also showed this kit to one of my friends at my marina and he was very impressed and also quite upset because he had spent over 6 hours removing 1 stubborn bearing the weekend before – which I could have removed with the tool in minutes! In summary this is a high quality product, which offers real value for money, and one I am very pleased with."
