Sailboat outboard 4 hp hanger Bemer
- Thread starter Seaswood
- Start date
Sometimes a sharp tap with a hammer to the nut will break the crud in the threads that is holding it tight. Then more penetrating oil and another tap. Wait a day and try again sort of thing.
I once acquired a Mac V22-2 on a trailer with O.B. and a complete set of racing sails for $900. The catch was that it had been under a tarp (laid on the deck) for 9 years and parked under a pine tree. It was completly black with mold and covered with pitch and needles. The floatation foam inside had been a home to some field mice/rats and when I opened the galley cabinet I disturbed a bell hornets nest... I did not know I could move that fast...
... kind of wish someone had filmed me coming out of the boat.
I dove over the transom and hit the ground running and booked it to the house.
The bolt is captured and brass & nla & vintage to a point no one knows what it is anymore.
the bolt is held by the frame against the hull the frame is aluminum Of which I will go to great lengths to avoid cracking.
so I will keep oiling.
should I know how it comes apart where to apply force I would.
the raccoon did not want to leave very stubborn to the point I thought it left & built a sturdy cutty hatch.
of which animal chewed it’s way out. But then it was gone.
Since there are bolts should come apart, it is the how does this work?

That looks like a pair of "Carriage bolts", the frame attached to the boat (I suspect the blue is part of the boats transom) holding the support to the frame. Can you slide the support along the frame so that the bolts slip out from the frame? Said carriage bolts may be stripped.
Round head with a keeper cast into the head of bolt.
the frame is held by two bolts on each side thru transom, with another thru-bolt Going thru the hull under the seat.
meaning this was installed during manufacture.
appears outboard side frame has aluminum soldered itself together, over the twenty + years it sat abandoned.
not trying to remove this just restore to working order.
