Lou and Deborah Steplock, 2008 Lopez Island Rendezvous
Pet Tug in Bell Harbor, Seattle 2010
How the prop looked after Pet Tug was hauled. A closer examination of the cutlass bearing revealed the problem ...
The prop is in the foreground with the shaft emerging from the stern tube. Missing is the cutlass bearing.
Looking into the stern tube--oops, the cutlass bearing slipped 10" in.
What's left of the cutlass bearing set screws three years after being installed--galvanic corrosion?
