I'm going to carry your seal number over to this thread;
"got my skf / cr 16650 seals yesterday ."
I read your specs on the oil for the trunions. I never really liked the idea of using oil. I've always used that blue marine grease.
Note to anyone who doesn't already know. Be sure not to lose or mix the shims for the upper and lower bearing caps. IF you lose them, you can buy sheets of shim stock and cut it with scizzors and punch the holes with a Whitney punch.
