The bolts are rusted so bad that a 9/16 wrench will not even attempt to turn the bolt before slipping. I also tried a professional grade extractor.
A professional marine mechanic may get it done. It would be interesting to see how they would approach this tast.

I have it with penetrating oil about 10 times over the last two weeks before Used a high end extractor to try and remove them. No go. I do have a right angle drill. As long as the trans and engine can come out together it shouldn’t be too bad. I appreciate your response. I will have to sleep in...

Thank you for any input on this.

I just purchased a 2000 340 sundancer.
We are trying to set up the aft for sleeping but feel that we are missing something . There were two fibreglass section that came with the boat. One is a table that sets up between the two back bench seats and the other is a fibre glass section that...
