Strut Bearings - CD 28 Power

Post by Frank Boal »

I need to replace my inner and outter strut bearings. we have an early hull (19) with two bearings and a 1 1/4" shaft. I would also like to replace the packing gland with a mechanical seal like a PSS or PYI or ????. Any thoughts, Ideas or help. What am I getting to?

Frank:

Our CD 28 "Junonia" has a PSS shaft seal which was on the boat when we bought it 2 years ago. I believe the shaft is still 1 1/4".
The PSS doesn't leak a drop and works great. It is cooled by a small
line from the engine cooling system. The engine is a 210 HP Cummins. which was installed by her last owner.

I hope this helps... shoot some more questions anytime.

Pete
