OctYou’ll need an hydraulic pump such as this one:
The pump is used to push an adapted bracket (yellow) through the strut, pushing the old bearing out (no need to remove the shaft).
Old bearing coming out:
Done !
The new nearing is fitted using the same tool but the other way around.
As a reminder, max. play accepted for a shaft inside its bearing shouldn’t be more than 1/2 a millimeter. Any more than this, replace the bearing.

OctThe above picture is a leak of raw water spotted at the exhaust elbow of the port engine of a Leopard 39, 2012. Engine had 500 hours:
Same problem was spotted on the starboard side (engine had 800 hours on this one).
This is the culprit:
Once cleant Up, you can clearly see a crack at the junction between the plate and the hosing:
We managed to weld back the port one:
The starboard one was totally rotten, stainless was cracked internally up to 1 cm within the tubing, so a new elbow was fitted (these elbows are sold for roughly US$180).
Can this issue be considered normal wear and tear, or do you think Yanmar uses cheap stainless steel ? We understand exhaust fumes and waters are corrosive, should 500 hours be considered normal span life of a stainless steel part ?

Alliaura Marine used to know how to build nice boats. This one is one of them, at the edge between production and luxury vessels. After being in a charter fleet, she was purchased back by a private owner who’s selling her again now. There is plenty of room with her 5 double cabins.
Issu du chantier Alliaura, c’est une très belle unité, très bien construite, et aussi très bien agencée, idéale pour du charter de luxe. Son propriétaire l’a racheté à une compagnie de charter et le revend aujourd’hui. Son espace intérieur est immense avec ses 5 cabines doubles.
