Stus-List Using a hammer drill to remove corroded fastener

I want to add a T track slide to my mast for a whisker pole. The mast tracking is in place, but I can't break the bottom fastener, in order to install the T-Track. Likely, corrosion b/t the fastener and mast is the issue. Has anyone had any experience - good or bad - using a hammer drill to

I used a hit it with a hammer type of screw breaker on the fasteners on my binnacle. Use some WD40 or PB Blaster and maybe some heat (I had to do it all), but got them all out without breakage. The only negative with a hammer drill is holding it hard enough against the screw to avoid rounding

I just had to use a ‘hit it with a hammer’ type screw breaker to get the valves out of my manual bilge pump ... I soaked it in Kroil overnight beforehand. I think Kroil, PB Blaster or Deep Creep would work a whole lot better than WD-40. Peter Fell Sidney, BC CC 27 MkIII ... soon to be renamed

Hi Rick Nope, the cradle lift I refer to is essentially a trailer shaped like a U that they back up around the cradle. They then fit cross bars under the cradle, attaching them to the trailer, and then hudraulics lift the whole thing up in the air. It can be moved by a small tractor (bobcat

I don't think you want a "hammer drill" - technically that is a drill that hammers forwards and backwards at high speeds to break through concrete. I think what you want is an impact gun (similar to what mechanics use on tire lug nuts - but available in small

Kelly, I have to agree with Gary Nylander. The tool of choice is an impact screwdriver, you preload the spring with a turn and then give it a sharp rap with a hammer. PB blaster helps too but the real issue is dissimilar metals. There is a product on the market to use that will stop the corrosion

Lanacote by Forespar is a waxy paste that works very well to prevent corrosion between dissimilar metals. One little tub lasts a lifetime. TefGel is another highly recommended product for this. Chuck Resolute 1990 CC 34R Atlantic City, NJ - Original Message - From: Len Mitchell

Just bought a 4 inch solar powered vent. What is the best place for it? The boat is a 29 mark 2. We could try it on the forward hatch, the non opening acrylic panel in the main cabin, or take out the vent in the head and make it bigger. Are there any other

I have a 4 Nicro vent installed in the overhead hatch in the salon of my 38 - I presume that is what you mean by the non-opening acrylic panel. That vent is set to exhaust in the general theory that the air in the top of the cabin is warmer anyhow, and exhausting that air will draw cooler air in

Mine is in the head. IMHO the best place. If you use your head at all, it's the best place. If it's one of the newer Nicros with the vertical edged cover, I would recommend against the forward hatch because lines will snag on it. Poor design and a step back from the older model. Dennis C.

The correct tool is a hammer screwdriver. You hold the bit tight to the screw and then hit the driver. It exerts a downward force and a torque at the same time. I’ve found it effective.

Pete, Stainless screw corrosion to aluminum mast is probably the culprit. Heat the screw with Napa torch until it is ret hot which breaks the corrosion then let it cool a bit and then hit with a impact wrench and proper bit. Generally will do it. John Arpeggio CC 32 From: CnC-List
