[C320-list] Set screws on the P bracket

All

On hull #514 there are set screws on the P bracket that hold the cutless
bearing in place. Does anyone know if these screws were not present on
earlier hulls?

Not just set screws, DOUBLE set screws!

I can confirm set screws on Hull #121, 1994. If you are changing the cutless bearing, the loaner tool is invaluable. Good luck!

On hull 109, there are stacked, double set screws. Beware!

Set screws are on my 1999. I didn’t reuse them, replaced with new sharp ones: Maxmoral Fixed Screw 1/4 20x3/8... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D1KLS6CS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

After I cut out the old bearing with a hack saw blade and cleaned out the strut, the new bearing went in smoothly with dish washing soap, wood block and hammer.

Like I show in my gallery photos, I slid the motor forward to replace the shaft instead of disconnecting the transmission since I was replacing mounts anyway.

Thanks,

Thank you all for your input, it helps a lot. I will be using the loaner puller tomorrow. Such a great loaner program. Thanks Troy!!!
