ABSTRACT:
A sternpost or strut bearing assemblage is disclosed having a flat mounting plate integrally formed with a pair of separated collars, which collars have their centers longitudinally aligned with each other to receive a vessel's drive shaft. A pair of opposed split bearing retainer covers is affixed to the mounting plate. Each cover is essentially omega shaped, and on the semi cylindrical inner surface thereof, the cover includes a plurality of longitudinally located retaining grooves having seated therein a mating series of ribs located on the outer surface of a hard semi cylindrical bearing shell which shell has a soft inner water lubrication lining. A split bearing is divided lengthwise at a midpoint parting line into two bearing halves, and each bearing half rides in an associated bearing retainer cover that is fastened by bolts in a removable fashion to the mounting plate of the bearing assemblage proper.
