English term or phrase: cutless (or cutlass) bearing

This is a PERSONAL question, although the selected answer will be added to the kudoz glossary as well as to my personal maritime glossary.
I was just discussing with a friend in Scotland the repair work he is doing on a boat he recently bought, when I realised that I didn't know the French for "cutlass bearing".
This gap in my bi-lingual maritime knowledge won't cause me any sleepless nights, but it intrigues me, and I feel I SHOULD know, so if any old salts out there can supply the answer I shall be very grateful.

While I like Bourth's answer, which seems to be a good description, Miranda's term is clearly correct, so she gets the points.

palier de tube d'étambot

Explanation:
Cutlass Bearing
The bearing surrounding the propeller shaft where it exits the hull.
http://www.latitudemexico.com/glossary/c/15.html

STERN TUBE AND STERN TUBE BEARINGS The hole in the hull structure for accom- modating the propeller shaft to the outside of the hull is called the stern tube. The propeller shaft is supported in the stern tube by two bearings— one at the inner end and one at the outer end of the stern tube—called stern tube bearings. At the inner end of the stern tube there is a stuffing box containing the packing gland (figure 4-4), which is generally referred to as the stern tube gland. The stern tube gland seals the area between the shaft and stern tube but allows the shaft to rotate.
http://www.tpub.com/content/engine/14075/css/14075_127.htm

First make sure that the STERN TUBE is in good shape and that you don't have slop between the bearing and the tube. The CUTLASS BEARING SHOULD BE SNUG IN THE TUBE with no play.

Quand l'arbre porte-hélice traverse la coque d'un navire, il repose sur un PALIER LOGE DANS LE TUBE D'ETAMBOT. Trois types distincts de paliers sont employés :
1) le palier à gaïac, logé dans une boîte étanche du côté intérieur et sans garniture du côté extérieur, est lubrifié par l'eau de mer. La boîte étanche peut être lubrifiée par de la graisse ou de l'huile si on le juge nécessaire;
2) les paliers de bronze ou de métal blanc munis d'un joint de caoutchouc étanche à l'huile aux extrémités intérieure et extérieure sont généralement garnis d'une huile lubrifiante qui se sépare facilement de l'eau. On préconise généralement l'emploi d'une huile turbine, d'une huile moteur ou d'une huile hydraulique de la viscosité prescrite;
3) le palier Cedervall, ...

TUBE D'ETAMBOT: Tube traversant la coque et guidant l'arbre d'entraînement de l'hélice. Chaque extrémité du tube est munies d'une BAGUE EN BRONZE SERVANT DE PALIER. L'intérieur du tube est rempli de graisse par un " palier graisseur " se fixant sur le tube d'étambot par 2 vis. Voir sur: http://sousmarin.nibua1.monsite.wanadoo.fr/

Possibly just "tube d'étambot" if it is understood that this contains a bearing or is greased, etc.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thank you Bourth ! I will take the statutory 24 hrs before choosing an answer, but your description (The bearing surrounding the propeller shaft where it exits the hull) describes a cutlass bearing exactly, and "palier de tube d'étambot" appears to describe it equally well in French.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thnak you Miranda. I'm delighted with so many responses : and though Bourth has a very convincing answer, I see that had I done a little more searching in Proz I would have come across jlsjr's link, which leads to a discussion in which I participated myself ... so now I have a choice ...

Asker: Thank you Miranda : your contributions are always pertinent and helpful, and all the "agrees" confirm that you are correct here as well.
