Application and Use
Cutlass bearings ensure reliable support and alignment of marine propeller shafts. Their water-lubricated rubber linings help reduce friction, absorb vibration and deliver durable long-term performance even in harsh marine environments.
Brass vs. Phenolic Bearings
- Brass bearings: Provide strength, corrosion resistance and durability for most standard marine applications.
- Phenolic bearings: Recommended for aluminum stern tubes or installations where galvanic corrosion must be avoided.
