Mine were bronze through bolts with tapered, countersunk straight slot screwdriver heads on the outside. Same as the strut bolts, only smaller. 1970 27 Express Cruiser. I had to move my shaft log a fraction to relive some tension that was making it really hard to align the shaft. Common problem according to David Pascoe, even on new boats. Perhaps when the strut broke in half and I replaced it a few years ago the new one I got from Sea Cure didn't line up exactly the same as the old one. I found two long cracks in the shaft log at the weld while I was moving it. The only thing keeping the water out was the sealing material. The things we wish we didn't know.

The boat is in the water. While cleaning the nuts inside the shaft log, many are loose and spinning with the bolts. Does anyone know if these are studs threaded into the shaft log or thru bolts. if they were studs could I replace them from the inside?
