Hi Chris,
Yes, I did have my boat for sale last Fall. No, not getting out of boating. Just looking to down size. We'll see how this season goes.
Chris you need to make a big slide hammer out of a piece of threaded rod. Try to get a big washer and nut inboard of the bearing and have at it.
Sorry to reply on your thread K.
Chris shoot me a PM or give a call if you need more.
Patrick
