- 2000 Grand Banks 42 Classic
Cost to replace all 6 cutless bearings on 2000 Grand Banks 42C? I have my biannual haul out, bottom paint, etc. scheduled for mid- January at my longtime yard and checking my shafts for trueness and replacing the bearings is tentatively on the job list. I have what I call a "slight flutter" in my starboard shaft - it makes the tube between my Norscot seal and reservoir flutter - the port tube is nearly flutter free. Will be replacing the Norscot seals too. I'm the 3rd owner and doubt any of this has been replaced in 22 years.
I wondered if anyone with a 42C has had the 6 bearings recently replaced? Advice/comments? Anything I need to know ahead of time? Cost? Difficulty? Any special brand of bearing to use? Questions to ask the yard?
Thanks in advance!
