CD28 Cutlass bearing set screws?

[tradewinds780]

I am trying to change the cutlass bearing on my CD28 and have read that there should be set screws holding it a couple of inches from the end and that there may be a wire leading to them visible under the gelcoat.

I ground out a bunch of filler, gelcoat and glass and don't see any sign of set screws. Is it possible that there are none?

I have read all the posts I could find on the subject but any other suggestions are welcome.

Hi PK, My CD30 Anne Freeman did not have them. When I replaced cutlass bearing I epoxied some 316 stainless T-nuts and threaded set screws into that. Held up for years despite heavy use.

That's a good idea that I hadn't thought of. Thanks.

Some don't have them, and some had them added by owners along the way.

You can see the set screws on my 1979 CD28 in the picture.
