    Sheared bolt in lower unit - no access

    WIN! Managed to get her off today with 1.5 canisters of propane. Only odd couple of small paint chips so chuffed. Thank you for the help and advice!

    Sheared bolt in lower unit - no access

    Worth saying, motor runs, shifts cleanly, however water flow seemed a little weak hence looking to service/ replace the impeller. I did however notice a lot of what appeared to be salt deposits coming out of the inlets as I was manouvering the unit so this could have been part of the issue...

    Sheared bolt in lower unit - no access

    Hi, yes disconnected the shift shaft (after a bit of a fight). So far I have had zero movement which is what led me to believe there may be threads in the lower unit and the sheared bolt holding it. Now confirmed that's not the case, seems its a case of heat and patience.

    Sheared bolt in lower unit - no access

    Hey all, hoping for some advice. I was gifted a Concorde Chevalier by a friend. Removing the lower unit from the yamaha 30hp and one of the four side bolts sheared leaving threads in top and bottom. Initial thought was left hand drills and easy outs however, I don't seem to be able to get in...
