Cutlass Bearing

A Cutlass bearing is a water-lubricated bearing used in marine applications to support rotating shafts, such as propeller shafts. It is self-aligning and typically made of rubber or a composite material. Cutless bearings reduce friction and wear on the shaft, allowing it to rotate smoothly and efficiently. They are commonly used in boats and ships to support the propeller shaft and provide a reliable and long-lasting bearing solution in marine environments.
