CIXIHOTO is a company that specializes in manufacturing boat parts. A huge part of that is manufacturing something known as a bearing sleeve. Cutless bearings are a critical component, as they enable the propeller to rotate without any hindrance when the boat is already stationary on water. The cutless bearing is running well and everything meshes together nicely. Now, you may be wondering why cutless bearings are one of the most important aspects of your boats.
A cutless bearing is a marine component designed to reduce friction between the hull and propeller shaft of a boat. When something touches another thing and rubs together, that is called friction, which tells you it would start hurting the other one, hence slow them down. On a boat, the cutless bearing is located between the propeller shaft and strut. The long rod that runs from the engine to the propellor is known as a propeller shaft. The blade of the propellor spins, providing thrust for your boat so it can move through water.
The bearing sleeve types is built with durable materials that can prevent damage even when it is in contact with saltwater 24 hours a day. Saltwater can destroy materials, but the cutless bearing is built to resist. The cutless bearing fits tightly in the strut and directly over the center of the propeller shaft. This enables the propeller to rotate freely, and hence making it easier for the boat to glide through water with no issue.
Material: Cutless bearings can consist of a variety of materials inclusively upgraded rubber, bronze or other durable materials. Choosing the right material for your kind of boat and its needs does make difference.
Vibration: If your boat vibrates or shakes while underway, it may be a sign that the cutless bearing is either worn out and/or misaligned. It can create vibration, which is annoying and affects the performance of the boat.
If your boat has an older cutless bearing, it may be time to upgrade—there are some real benefits available with modern designs. Here are a few reasons you should consider getting a new cutless bearing:
Advanced alloys: New cutless bearings are crafted from more robust materials that can provide lasting service life compared with older designs. That translates into fewer replacements and better performance in general.
