BFG Cutless Rubber give you the curved shoulder every time

We call it the exclusive B.F.Goodrich

Water Wedge design. Most ship and boat builders and owners call it a shaft and bearing saver.

That's because the rounded shoulder keeps a wedge of water flowing continuously out of the water grooves and between the bearing surfaces and shaft. There's no heat buildup; shaft and bearing surfaces stay cool. Lubrication is constant; there's little shaft-bearing friction and less wear.

Abrasive materials are washed into water grooves and flushed harmlessly away.

No wonder boat builders have specified

B.F.Goodrich Cutless Rubber stern and strut bearings for more than 40 years. And, boat owners find they last nearly that long, too.

If you want to get the curved shoulder, give us a call. The Water Wedge design is exclusive with us because it's exclusive with Cutless. And, we can furnish them for any size propeller shaft.
