I have a 10 year old longtail motor 27 hp kohler has ran great . Figured id do the bearings on it turns out one seized up long story short ruined the lower bearing housing. I contact beavertail they send me the wrong one, turns out they have changed to a different design and no longer have this one. They are now telling me to spend $500 and get the new frame so my $93 housing fits. Beavertail is the sole place to get parts for their setups is it just me or should they not be able to store a part the size of a fist regardless if its in huge demand? Ive had other issues with the beavertail camp their customer service sucks a big one. Hopefully ill save somebody the headache of dealing with their idiot VP Rick |

the bearings can be purchased from macmaster carr, grainger, or somewhere like that, cut off old bearing cup and have someone machine a new one. shouldnt cost over 50 to 75 dollars |

Problem is bearing was welded to the shaft and cup so we cut it to pieces so i have no old one to go off |

you should still be able to find a # on bearing or seal. get shaft diameter and a rough measuremant of O. D. and find a bearing and seal then machine new cup for bearing. if they sent you a new cup get measurements and buy bearings. if you dont have a way to weld or machine most any machine shop should be able to machine a new cup and weld it on for you. not an expensive job |
