A couple of questions...

ANS: NO, The only bearings are the strut UHMW bearing next to the propeller, and the main shaft thrust bearing just under the motor.
> 2. in one of your followup pictures, i see a plastic bag
> wrapped around the Stuffing nut assembly. Did you need to
> upgrade your original setup there?
ANS: NO, The plastic bag was placed there when I was spray painting in that area to mask the paint overspray. The original packing setup (a plastic plumbing P-Trap from Home Depot) is still working OK. One thing I did do was to wrap the packing nut with duct tape, just to make sure the packing nut would not back out if the shaft rubs the nut, see slide 17.
