Salvaging Aluminum Jet Boat Exhaust Tips by Removing Siezed Studs
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ธ.ค. 2022
- During the restoration of my 79 Centurion #jetboat I encountered these seized steel studs in my aluminum exhaust tips. This was a little surprise to me, and honestly to be expected. Considering that these sit below the water line, and we have dissimilar metals it was only a matter of time before galvanic corrosion took place. When I removed the tips I had a few of the studs break off in the middle due to the excessive rust. I needed to get the rest of the studs removed from these exhaust tips without causing any damage to the aluminum threads. So I decided to make a quick video showing you how to remove these studs, without making things harder on yourself.

About AutoTechNick:
Growing up in rural Oregon I was always around Hot Rods & Race Cars. I imagine my early exposure to this culture ignited a spark of interest in cars, which remains my passion to this day.
🎓 I am a proud Alumni of Wyoming Technical Institute, where I studied Automotive Technology, Performance Engine Building & Street Rod Fabrication. In addition to “Wyo Tech”, I graduated from the BMW Service Technician Education Program. More commonly known as BMW S.T.E.P.
🏎️ I spent nearly 10 years working in various BMW dealerships as a Master Technician. After a move back home to the PNW I found myself no longer servicing German-made machines, but now working with Italians. I spent nearly another 10 years as a Ferrari Master Technician, & Shop Foreman at a local Ferrari dealership.
🏆 I was selected by Ferrari as one of 12 technicians worldwide to compete in the “Ferrari Testa Rossa Awards”, consecutively for 4 years in a row. Finishing in 3rd place in 2016, & in 2019 I was able to place in 1st. Winning the competition & earning the title of the Top Ferrari Technician in the world!
🚀 As my time with Ferrari came to an end, a new career path awaited me…. Aerospace. I am currently working at Blue Origin, helping to build & develop the BE-3PM and BE-U rocket engines.
With my new career path, I needed an outlet for my automotive passion, thus the reason for this channel… - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Also, in a pinch you can cut a few lines length wise on a bolt with a hacksaw to create an emergency bottom tap/thread chaser.
If you live in pnw I can't be that far from you over here in Kamiah Idaho, your tips are awesome thank you
Thank you! Sounds like you are semi close. I am all the way over in the Seattle area..

A little extra something you can do is turn a can of air duster upside down and freeze the piss out of the bolt. Ninja stuff.
Aaron, great tips!!! Thanks for sharing them…

There are few things a torch can’t solve. Give those tips a nice polish and save them for the final pièce de résistance at the end of the project!
Do you have any other websites or any other information I can get out of you. I've got a 1977 Hawaiian that I'm refurbishing. I live over here in Kamiah Idaho. Looking for the video on your tank replacements and how to bolt them and easy access
Allen, all of my content and information on the JetBoat is only here on TH-cam. I am still working through the repairs on my boat. So as I work through each project on the boat I will be putting out a video covering the work. As a motter of fact I am working on installing the fuel tanks this week. My goal is to have that video completed and uploaded towards the end of this month.
