How often does a Cutless® bearing require replacement?
This depends on several factors.  Vessel age, amount of use and shaft alignment are the three primary factors but can definitely include propeller condition and balance.  Since the vast majority of vessels are over ten years old and have a varying amount of use it is not uncommon to see a worn bearing in as few as several hundred hours. 

Can I perform the Cutless® bearing replacement myself?
Yes.  You are not changing any critical propeller shaft or strut alignments, and there is no beating required. 

How much can I save using Strut Pro®?
Like the old saying goes "time is money".  Many repair yards save enough time to pay for the tool the first or second use.  As a boat owner you save substantially as there is no damage done to your vessel.
