I was attempting to be a cheap-skate and save the hardware since its only the aluminum thats corroded but its more trouble than its worth. tomorrow I'll just drill out the heads, hopefully won't get rained on. thanks for the heads up on that anti-seize compound, I think the compound with the nylon barrier washers might do the trick. also gonna drill out the plate to a larger diameter hole. all good ideas, all getting used.
should have seen me trying to remove the old bow rail, every screw was seized! had to grind off the heads of 3/4 of the screws... not too tough just really annoying. I'll post pics of the new rail and new SS rod holders when done. thanks again
