P-bracket

This photo shows the lower half of a p-bracket with the new bearing visible in place (black rubber immediately adjacent to the shaft, surrounded by a bronze shell). Allen set screws (the aft one circled in white) hold the bearing in position. The old bearing is visible on the shaft forward of the bracket. After the old bearing was cut off, the owner mounted a sacrificial zinc in this area.
