 Topic: cutlass bearingPosted: May-06-2008 at 10:31am |

I recently pulled my strut off to have it repaired and noticed the cutlass bearing is a fiber type(vesconite). Is this type of bearing still used and who sells them? Thanks Eric

Vesconite is a white plastic composite and is sold by OJ Propellers. I'm not sure if it's the same thing you're talking about but they are relatively new to the ski boat market: Vesconite Bearings
They promise 10X the life of standard rubber bearings. |

Eric, I think the fiber cutlass you have is different than the Vesconite. Don't know so check this out. brass and fiber cutlass bearings

Is this like lifetime brake pads (bad for rotors)? 10X the life of the bearing & -10X the life of the shaft? My old shaft was grooved - from a rubber bearing. |
