There's around a 1mm, maybe less, of play between my cutless bearing and it's housing (sterntube). Can someone please explain the prodecure to re-bed it? What exactly should I use Hylomar, Epoxy, Araldite etc? Do I need to /how do I ensure it aligned properly when it goes back in - shims?
Thanks in advance for your help.
BTW: I will be replacing the cutlass bearing itself, as it has some wear. Its bronze shelled, 1.5" internal diameter and about 6"long. Not sure about the outer diameter yet, until I get it out. Who sells replacements in the Swanwick area?
