Paul helped me remove the defective bearing which was busted. This was caused by the excessive vibration due to the fact that the engine mounts were shot (somebody had the smart idea of using pieces of plywood instead of rubber...).
After a couple hours with a circular saw and lots of sparks, we managed to cut through the steel bearing so now I can replace this with the new split bearing I got.
Can't believe someone built a whole kitchen cabinet right above the drivetrain, with no thought about access for maintenance and repairs. Not very smart.
Also saw that the shaft was not grounded. Thus the corrosion on the shaft. Part of the big problem of nothing being attached to the zinc plates which are supposed to keep this from happening.
Primed the hull which we've been prepping for weeks.
