Application and Use
Cutlass bearings provide essential support and alignment for marine propeller shafts. Their water-lubricated rubber lining minimizes friction, absorbs vibration and ensures reliable long-term performance in demanding marine environments.
Brass vs. Phenolic Bearings
- Brass bearings: Best suited for most marine applications due to their strength, durability and corrosion resistance.
- Phenolic bearings: Recommended for aluminum stern tubes or installations where galvanic corrosion must be avoided.
