Chris, it actually looks like the lower pintle and gudgeon is missing on your boat. Not sure how important it is, but I do not recall any other lower bearing in that assembly. Perhaps someone modified it and put a lower bearing in it?

Hi Ray. My lower pintle and gudgeon are there. You can see the bar and 4 bolt heads if you zoom in tight on the picture.

I did also notice the wash up the post a bit, but it's not something we can't live with for now.

The 55hp is wider than the Westerbeke, but does not take up as much space fore and aft. We are cruising at about 6.25-6.5 knots at 1800 rpm. At 2200rpm we taper off at a little over 7.5. anything more than that and we bury the exhaust!

Yes there only is one just above the skeg and it gets held in at the top thru a stuffing box,
