CD28 cutless bearing and prop shaft sizes
Does anyone know what the length of the prop shaft and the outside diameter of the cutless bearing are for a CD28? I'm going to have to cut the prop shaft out of my boat later this week but I'd like to order the shaft sooner so I can have it machined and delivered by the weekend. It's hard to get an exact measurement without removing the shaft. Hoping someone else has done this job recently and has this information handy!

I don't know the length of the shaft, but the cutlass bearing is a Morse "Blackfish" ( 4" x 1" x 1-1/4" ) according to my May 1981 Owner's Manual.

Re: CD28 cutless bearing and prop shaft sizes
Many thanks for that. I went and cut the shaft out of the boat today because I was getting antsy. Looks like it's about 21 inches. Odd length but I can get whatever I want from Deep Blue so not a problem. Thanks for confirming the size of the cutless bearing, even after trying to measure it in the boat I wasn't 100 % certain of the diameter.
