[QUOTE="Douglasdzaster, post: 479498, member: 27803"] I couldn’t stand the wait so I dropped by this afternoon since I was in town just to check on my boat. They were just pulling it into the shop. I got to hang out and watch this man try everything that I was told to do and some other neat tricks. We both thought by looking at it some heat and it’ll probably come right out. He tried it all until he finally had to start drilling. Starting with the smallest bit I’ve ever seen and stepping up one size at a time until he was were he could pick the threads out that still weren’t giving up without a fight. 2 1/2 hours and I’m hooking up to bring her home. Best $50 I ever spent. Gotta love being in a small town. Thank you everyone for your advice and sharing your knowledge. I really appreciate this forum. I’m looking for questions that I can help someone out with. [/QUOTE]
