Strut bushing

Where can you get new bushing for the prop shaft support strut and how do you get the old bushings out?

It looks like the bushing is metal with a rubber surface where it contacts the prop shaft. The rubber appears to have longitudinal grooves to facilitate water lubrication.

I'm going to weld in new pipes/logs where the shafts go through the hull. The originals are thin in spots. How much clearance should there be? Mine are so rotten, I can't determine the original inside diameter.
