Re: Stuck transom clamp screw

[kees]

quote XR55:

I ran into this on a Mercury 400, that I tried heat from a Oxy./ Ac. torch. And had no luck the easy way. So I did it the hard way. On the side of the clamp that faces the ground, I cut a slot parallel with the threaded part of the screw, just to the threads. Then went back to heat and it came free. Then I welded up the slot and filed and shaped the weld to match the surrounding area.

thats also my way and ……
that’s also the best way
