Leave it to DA to have a source for almost everything Albin A25. Let me rephrase that... EVERYTHING A25!
Thanks for the compliment. If I had been ordering a new cutlass bearing from Albinmotor I would have added the OEM vent caps to the order too. My cutlass bearing seems to be in good shape. Still not 100% sure if the prop shaft & bearing is original Albin 25mm or a 1" replacement from when the repower job to a Yanmar was done in early 1990s. Nothing in the receipts & documentation passed along from previous owners mentions shaft replacement. All I know is there doesn't seem to be any play in the shaft at the cutlass bearing & runs quiet & virtually vibration free.
