R.E. Thomas Marine Hardware manufactures a variety of heavy duty bronze stern bearings suitable for both new construction boats and retrofits. We offer our regular SSB series stern bearings, traditional flax packed stern bearings, oval shaped stern bearings, and the capability to machine custom pieces.
Machined from cast bronze and fitted with Duramax Marine cutless bearings, we’re confident our line of stern bearings offers the best value in terms of safety, reliability, performance, and cost.
Many of our stern bearings (SSB series) can also be fitted with our rope shield/guard that helps prevent line and other marine debris from entangling in and crippling your boat’s running gear.
Don’t take chances with inferior marine hardware products manufactured under questionable quality control standards. Every R.E. Thomas stern bearing is manufactured in the USA and quality inspected by our team of skilled technicians.
