Re: Trim Tabs Stuck To Transome
Definitely if the tabs are older and the hinge pin is siezed, you won't have much luck getting it out. There is just too much surface area and it is a pretty soft stainless steel. I've tried that, and gave up long before causing a lot of damage. I was actually doing the opposite of the thread, trying to paint the tabs. I ended up just masking off the transom of the boat, sanding/grinding/sandblasting the tab down, repriming and painting on the boat.
