Yes

No, just because Evil Slaid Chuck said yes

I do, but many European racers do not ...Gerwin?

I say EVERY motor needs a thrust bearing on it. Why not take that load off your rear plate and bearing and shims? You can eat those shims away very easily and then you can have more problems...like metal to metal and then hot bearing and enbell and then bearing goes and then the arm cocks and then windings short and then...well you get the picture. :)

Yes, $6.50 is well worth it.

Cool, i'll order one of those too. But just so i know, nothing in the motor comes apart right, the thrust bearing just fits between the coupler and the back of the motor itself correct?? And it will fit with an SV27 motor mount which is what i used?? Thanks, hopefully i'll have the boat back on the water next week.

Make sure you leave a couplepieces paper width space between the coupler and motor. Do not run it tight.
