Morse water lubricated bushings feature precision designed, specially formulated nitrile rubber that is molded to fit shafts in accordance with U.S. Navy BuShips clearances. These cutlass bearings are environmentally friendly, oil and chemical resistant, and have excellent vibration dampening qualities.

Grit particles and other abrasives wash into grooves and are flushed away, protecting the shaft and prolonging bearing life. Cutlass bearins can also be used as rudder-stock and pintle bushings. These bushings are commonly installed by press-fitting and locked in place with set screws.
