Cutlass bearing

[Margaret Osborne]

I removed the cutlass bearing which measures 120mm long outside diameter 50mm shaft 40mm this seems to be an odd size as most are 55mn outside diameter.the one I removed has thin shell around the rubber which I think might be phelonic or Tufnell. Someone said phelonic bearing are not made anymore This is off an antarres 760 2006 with volvo pent d3 does anyone know anything about these bearings thanks

A friend had a similar problem trying to source the right size brass cutlass bearing. It looked at one stage we would have to ream it to fit an available size. Further investigation found the P bracket was sleeved, this was removed and a phenolic bearing was purchased the right size

Pretty sure this bearing is unique to Beneteau so suggest you contact a dealer.

I would ask Hamble Propellors if they can help. Very knowledgeable and very very helpful.

True but Benetton mix them in the same bearing ?

Phenolic based bearings are very much still being made, we supply hundreds for mainly commercial and military vessels (mainly). They have evolved alot from Tufnol which is a phenolic resin and fibre material.
The new materials (Maritex) are used as the bearing surface (no rubber) and have shown to last a good bit longer. They have lubricants and surface chemistry that resists marine growth. They are made to order for insertion by hand on a thin film of epoxy but can also be made for a press fit if required.
