@@ianqv He’s a great bloke and got me back out on the water very quickly. Just about to release a vid on cutless bearings and stern seals 🦭 😂 nightmare job !
I had a similar experience and seeing the prop for the first time - A Gori 2 blade folding prop with all rounded Allen key heads so hours of work drilling out the bolts. Spares were easy to obtain and after a good clean looked like new again. Will you leave as is/polished? I opted for etch primer/primer and Trilux 33 anti foul. Will see if it works at the end of the season.
Hi and thanks for watching. I left it polished. Seemed sacrilege to paint over something that looks so magnificent. I'll see how it gets on at the end of the season as it's my 1st season with this particular boat and report back. All the best Rob
Hi, the key to getting bolts undone without stripping, even Allen key bolt heads is getting an Allen key socket and tapping with a heavy hammer, penetrating oil and heating around the screw. They all came out really easily. Thanks for watching and if you need any help just drop me a message. All the best Rob

I’m shocked the hex key (Allen) bolts actually unthreaded out with all that corrosion, the heads always strip when I try .
