The inboard end of your propeller shaft is generally supported by the coupling attached to the transmission, and the other end of the shaft is usually held within the cutless bearing in a stern tube mount or strut, some distance from the keel. Your Johnson Cutless Bearing (also known as “cutlass” bearing) is a fluted rubber tube that holds your propeller shaft in place, and keeps it spinning smoothly. Your propeller shaft will turn thousands of revolutions per minute (RPM) for hundreds and hundreds of hours while under way, with seawater acting as the sole lubricant. For more information on how Cutless Bearings work, when and how to change your bearing, and more, see below! Note: If looking to purchase Johnson Cutless Bearings, see here.
