Before You Begin

Thank you for choosing Strut Pro®.   We take great pride in producing a quality product.    Review drawings and photos to familiarize yourself with the parts.  Read this manual carefully before proceeding. 

The threaded rods are pre-lubricated with copper based anti-seize before shipping to insure smooth operation and prevent thread galling.  Keep all parts clean and free of dirt and other debris.

Although Global Marine Industries, Inc. (GMI) tries to manufacture the products with the finest materials and uses the highest standards of manufacturing, occasionally a defective part is not found in the inspection process.  Also, from time to time, a part necessary for operation is not shipped with the product.  Even with the highest inspection and quality controls in place these things will happen occasionally.  Please do not return the product.  Contact us should this problem occur. 

IMPORTANT: This tool is designed to replace the most popular size cutless bearings.  Should you encounter a size that does not match properly to a collet, such as metric of a off standard size, shim the nearest collet that most closely matches the outer diameter of the cutless bearing.  Use a thin, non-abrasive material between the propeller shaft and collet to properly space the collet to match the outer shell of the Cutless® bearing. Do not exceed the bearing outer diameter.
