Broken bolt in Alpha One
 
So I was working on my impeller and tried to remove the pickup tube in the upper and a bolt broke. The other three came out perfectly.

Am I SOL or can I extract that bolt? Or will three bolts be enough?

Please help!!

Well it will be hard to get out if it's broke flush. I would try the 3 till winter then take it and get it fixed. I'm guessing u are talking about that plastic pc the tube goes in that would be upside down when the drive is on the boat? 3

No, the metal tube that goes into the upper.

I'm thinking 4200 around the base, then since her down.

The longer you leave the broken piece in the harder it will be to remove. When I find this stuff I tell them it would have been easier if I got it when it broke not after it was left for later. It should be no big deal for a competent tech to remove and or repair.

The problem is it's almost a foot into the drive. I can probably do it, was looking for advice.

Thanks
