Best way to repair this?

[Obrien1234]

Hi all,

We made a big boo boo on the outside of the stern tube housing while trying to get the cutlass out, any recommendations on how to best repair something like this?

Thanks!

Update - we did get the cutlass out!

To me it looks like a cracked and worn cutlass bearing and a large chunk of bottom paint missing from the port side of the stern tube.

Are you talking about the bottom paint?

I'd have the bottom media blasted, barrier coated and repainted. That is VERY thick.

Stern tubes are fiberglassed in place. That just looks like fairing compound. Grind it off and replace with new fairing compound.

Next time,use a slide hammer puller with the "bent finger" attachment.
