Default Round style trim pump

Snapped off the easy to get to bolt securing the trim motor to the pump housing. It was the second bolt I touched on Sat. The job just got a lot more complicated, I was expecting it. Spent 4 hours on the stb side clamp. She didn't want to move at first. Finally got it loose so I could get the power trim unit out and on the bench. Woke up this morning and noticed a few more gray hairs. Pictures in the am.

go ahead and clean hte heads off the other ones with a chisel, that will get the motor out of the way so you can get at whats left. IF you apply heat, it may melt hte screen inside the pump.

Yep, the last picture shows that there are still some threads to grab onto on the one that broke off. If I chisel the head off the other one at least I can get some blaster in there and have something remaining to grab with vice grips on and peck on. If I use any heat, I will be mindful of the screen. The next two bolts to remove the pump section are probably corroded up as well.. At this point I was planning on rebuilding the entire unit, blast and paint the brackets and hand sand and paint the power trim unit. I will let you know how it goes with bolt extraction. For the time being I got issues at work, maybe tomorrow.

That completely sucks Ridge...sorry to see the problems you're having. To avoid this in the future, don't forget to coat the threads with never-seize when you put it back together.

I got one out of two of the motor bolts out. Both of the pump section bolts out. More Blaster and more waiting. Corrosion on the threads has the pump stuck to the sides of the broken bolt. Once it releases its grip, the last bolt will be exposed and should virtually fall out. (according to the fine print).
