The Vetus RULAG35PH Phenolic Cutlass Bearing is designed for a 35 mm propulsion shaft and features a phenolic resin outer shell with a 1 7/8" outside diameter and a total length of 140 mm. The polyurethane-rubber lining includes longitudinal grooves that maintain continuous water lubrication, reduce friction, and stabilize the shaft during operation. The non-metallic, corrosion-free phenolic casing makes this model ideal for aluminum stern tubes and installations where galvanic corrosion must be avoided, while the metric shaft and inch-sized stern tube compatibility ensures versatile use in marine applications.

- Phenolic resin outer casing in 1 7/8" inch dimensions
- Non-metallic construction ideal for corrosion-sensitive environments
- Longitudinal grooves for efficient water lubrication
- Designed for metric shaft diameter and imperial stern tube diameter
- Suitable for motorboats and sailing yachts
- Available for larger shaft diameters upon request
Technical Specifications
Parameter Value Shaft Diameter 35 mm Outer Diameter (Shell Size) 1 7/8" Length 140 mm Shell Material Phenolic resin Lining Material Polyurethane-rubber Lubrication Water-lubricated
Application and Use
Cutlass bearings provide essential support and alignment for marine propeller shafts. Their water-lubricated rubber linings reduce friction, absorb vibration, and ensure long-term operating reliability under continuous marine conditions.
Phenolic vs. Brass Bearings
- Phenolic bearings: Ideal for aluminum stern tubes and installations where dissimilar metal contact and galvanic corrosion must be avoided.
- Brass bearings: Common in standard marine applications due to their strength and corrosion resistance, though not preferred where non-metallic solutions are required.
