[TowerTalk] Looking for a TB4 bearing - need not be pretty

That's exactly what I use and seems like it will work well to shield water off the bearing.

OTOH,  The 2" shown on e-bay appears to have a rubber seal eith the top of the bearing flush with the top of the casting which is important.  There is one for $78.90 that has the bearing recessed. Great place for water.  Nicer finish, but...  Lots of stuff available that is more rugged than the TB-3 and 4.
