I've seen it happen. But if you have a new shaft, maybe thet didn't line things up properly.

Will deffinately cause a vibration. Stick in a new bearing, make sure it goes through the center of the stern tube, then check alignment.

Just replaced the cutlass in my 30" with the help of the forum.
Very easyily done with the strut removed. What A difference! Also had about an 1/8" wear.
