Application and Use
Cutlass bearings provide essential alignment and support for marine propeller shafts. Their water-lubricated design reduces friction, absorbs vibration, and ensures long-term durability in demanding marine environments.
Brass vs. Phenolic Bearings
- Brass bearings: Ideal for standard marine applications due to their strength, durability and corrosion resistance. Suitable for most motorboats and sailing vessels.
- Phenolic bearings: Recommended for aluminum stern tubes or installations where galvanic corrosion must be avoided due to dissimilar-metal contact.
