Midlife - I believe that the strut-prop, or similar devices, only work on boats that actually have a separate strut that holds the cutlass bearing. On the OP's boat, the cutlass bearing is mounted inside the hull itself, so you do not have access to the forward end of the cutlass bearing. The strut-pro device lets you squeeze the cutlass in, while still having the prop shaft in there as well, but would only work on boats ( the majority nowadays) with struts.
