Vetus RL2540PH Phenolic Cutlass Bearing for 25 mm Marine Propeller Shafts
The Vetus RL2540PH is a water-lubricated cutlass bearing engineered for propulsion systems using a 25 mm shaft and a stern tube with metric dimensions. Its phenolic resin outer casing provides a lightweight, corrosion-free and non-metallic alternative to brass, making it ideal for aluminum boats or environments where galvanic corrosion must be avoided. The polyurethane-rubber inner lining features longitudinal grooves that support continuous water flow, offering effective cooling and lubrication to minimize friction and vibration.
Key Features
- High-wear-resistant polyurethane-rubber lining
- Non-metallic phenolic resin outer casing for corrosion-free performance
- Grooved inner surface for efficient water lubrication and cooling
- Designed for metric shaft and stern-tube dimensions
- Suitable for both motorboats and sailing yachts
- Available for larger shaft diameters upon request

Application and Use
Cutlass bearings are essential for supporting and aligning marine propeller shafts. Their water-lubricated rubber lining reduces friction, absorbs vibration, and ensures long-lasting, reliable performance even under continuous operation in marine environments.
Phenolic vs. Brass Bearings
- Phenolic bearings: Best suited for aluminum stern tubes or installations where galvanic corrosion and dissimilar-metal contact must be avoided. Lightweight and fully corrosion-free.
- Brass bearings: Standard in most marine applications due to strength and corrosion resistance, though not ideal where non-metallic components are required.
