#74: Replacing stern seal, cutlass bearing, and aligning the prop shaft.

Sailboat Maintenance: propeller shaft, stern seal and cutlass bearing. 

Welcome to the yard, and one of our first project of our season prep! Ryan wanted to change the cutlass bearing, which was due for a replacement after 13 years of good and loyal services. 

Since replacing the cutlass bearing involved removing the prop shaft, this seemed to be a good opportunity to also change the stern seal and learn how to align the prop shaft to the engine.

We also changed the engine mounts, gave the prop and the shaft a good clean as well as cleaning anodes.
