Vetus RL8010 Brass Cutlass Bearing for 80 mm Marine Propeller Shafts
The Vetus RL8010 is a water-lubricated cutlass bearing designed for marine propulsion systems using an 80 mm shaft and a metric-dimension stern tube. Its brass outer casing, measuring 100 mm in outside diameter and 320 mm in length, ensures excellent structural strength and corrosion resistance. The polyurethane-rubber inner lining features longitudinal grooves that promote continuous water flow for lubrication and cooling, reducing friction and vibration under continuous operation.
Key Features
- High-wear-resistant polyurethane-rubber lining
- Durable brass outer casing for strength and corrosion resistance
- Grooved inner surface for optimal water lubrication and thermal stability
- Designed for metric shaft and stern tube dimensions
- Suitable for motorboats and sailing yachts
- Available for larger shaft diameters upon request

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 long-lasting reliability in harsh marine environments.
Brass vs. Phenolic Bearings
- Brass bearings: Suitable for standard marine applications, offering strength, durability and corrosion resistance.
- Phenolic bearings: Recommended when installed in aluminum stern tubes or where galvanic corrosion must be avoided.
