another for Tabman

[MFG197]

Having a difficult time removing the zincs on my bennett tabs. All of the screws came out easily on the outdrive but i can't get the screws for the anodes on the tabs to budge. Tried penetrating oil and as much torque as i could muster on the phillips screw head.

WWYC na7,<br /><br />Well, this is the first time anyone has ever asked this question before and most likely the first time it has ever been a problem, so my suggestion is only a guess as to how to remove it. Do understand I am from the old school of thought; if it won't fit, force it and if it breaks it needed replacing anyway!!<br /><br />First of all is the trim tab off the vessel or still mounted? If it is off the vessel, then position the tab/zinc assembly on an anvil or vise so you can tap it (hit) the screw head with a hammer to loosen it up a little. If it is still on the vessel, then use a sledgehammer on zinc side and tap the screw head with the hammer to loosen it up. Give it try and let me know how it turns out by dropping me a line at trimtabs@earthlink.net.<br /><br />I look forward to your reply.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />MJ Thomas<br />Bennett Marine, Inc.<br />Client Services<br />www.bennetttrimtabs.com
