Wade,

If the cutlass bearings were made accurately it could matter a little but if the shaft feels tight and is not rattling then I would not worry about it. In my experience there is sometimes more than 3 thou variation in the new bearings I buy, not sure why but put two new bearings on the same shaft and one is likely to be tighter than the other. Interestingly my boat came with a spare cutlass bearing and it was also a fractional size yet the shaft measures 35mm exactly so I am not 100% sure of what bearing is actually in my boat now. James
