Bill,

Thanks for the information. I found the cutlass bearing on the website of CatalinaDirect.

Hans,
Swan, #254

My boat now has approximately 2500 engine hours . Until now the cutlass bearing is performing fine, no play. To play save I like to have a new one on stock in case I need it. What are the specifications of the cutlass bearing and where can I order it in the US? Hans v. d. Weijden, Swan, 2004, #254 E...

Kevin, When the wind pics up it will be very difficult or even impossible to pull in your furling line without using the winch. You have a 50% change the starboard winch is already in use as described by Bill. On my boat this problem is solved with an extra winch and line clutch. See the picture I a...

Dear Ken,

You are more then welcome to stop by in Ermelo. It's less then one hour drive from Amsterdam.
If your schedule permits give me a call 00 31 6 51171260.

Hull number £254, Swan is sailing in the Netherlands and has been a member for the last 10 years.

But I don't think the sails ended up in the Netherlands.

After replacing the damper plate last October ( I did this myself with the help of a friend using the article of Jerry Ross on the forum) it looks like I am hav...

Another successful damper replacement. After postponing it for more then a year we finished the job this week. Thanks to Jerry Ross excellent step by step instruction manual. I selected the high deflection plate RD 22AM4 which I bought at the Dutch representative for only € 170,- . The result is ast...

I had the same problem already back in 2011. At that point in time I contacted Schaefermarine and they told me that this particular bearing had a design issue. The part number of this bearing is 33-049-A. They shipped me a new one for only $ 130,- excluding shipping cost. It arrived within one week ...

Ken, Thanks for you effort, these pictures are very helpful. I guess I will be able to do this job myself with some help of one of neighbours. The replacement is scheduled for March 2016, so I can order the new damper plate in the US the coming month. Reading all the post, my conclusion is that the ...
