Hi Guys and Gals, Please let me know if you've got a secret to removing broken and seized screws from a boom cleat clamp. I posted pictures in the Repair forum here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=46661 Thanks, Mark |

I just had the same problem and ended up ordering replacements from Murrays. Hobie part numbers: Screws 8031011 Clamp 61711000 Cleat 61070000 If you have access to a drill press you could drill out the screws and insert Helicoils, it's a 10-24 thread. Reassemble with Tef-Gel or Locktite Blue. Good luck, Jim |

Heat was the trick! I used a propane torch to heat the aluminum all around the broken screw, holding the clamp with pliers. Then I put the clamp in a vise and used a vise-grip to grab the end of the screw and thread it out. It worked great. Thanks, Mark |
