Stus-List Using a hammer drill to remove corroded fastener

2013-08-05 Thread Michael Brown
When I removed the spinnaker car T-track I had much the same problem. I started with a test to see if any of the fasteners ( 5/16 SS ) would come out by hand with a screwdriver, no such luck. The next step was getting a bit of penetrating oil to seep in, repeated applications over a few weeks.

Your current winches are probably Barient 18s, at least that is what was original on my boat. I looked long and hard at the Anderson 28st winches and I agree that they are a good fit for the CC27. A Barient 19st is pretty much an 18 that is self tailing, but almost impossible to find now.
