I have traced a slight leak to the support stanchions that are the gate way supports (4) on both sides of my boat. I need to remove or loosen and reseal these 16 Stainless Steel though bolts.
Hunter did a thoughtful job of providing access, albeit very tight, to them.
The access reveals on the easier ones, in the red oval on the picture, a SS backer plate with a nuts and washers.
I suspect that Hunter used 5200 to seal them OEM.
I have tried to "hand" loosen them, no luck. I don't want to strip the head.
Any ideas, tools, advise on "break out" of these bolts?
Note that the right bolt appears to have a different head?
