It took three applications and about 3 hours back and forth Soaking and I finally broke the two bolts in question free.

May be worth a shot, I thought I was toast on them as well.

a hard lesson in the need for a break down and some tef gel every year or two.

reworked my trailer a bit as well and had some tough customers there too, I live by anti seize and corrosion inhibitors.

So I have tried the Blaster, continued with the wrench, hammer, torched it and it does not budge at all, almost seems like its welded to the spacers I guess I'm going to have to cut it and just order the bolt and spacers again.

honestly I didn't feel bad sending it back cut. if they had taken any precautions to prevent galling in manufacture it would not have happened.

Do you know if there is alternative for Tef-Gel that prevents galling? I don't mind paying the price if it works, it just seems hard to find locally in Central Texas.

TefGel is best, I use it on a lot of skiffs and also on my tractor, lawnmower, truck, cars etc. everything...

I've never heard of it until a few weeks ago but, I guess I'll just order it online and wait for it. I had the spacers seize on to the bolt for my jackplate and ended up cutting/ hammering the bolt out. I'm not interested in having this issue again any time soon. I was just hesitant on spending over 30 bucks for a couple ounces of that stuff. Thanks for the feedback!

It was originally designed by Australian sailers and has my stamp of approval for whatever that is worth. I bought a 2oz tub about 8 years ago for about $40 and still have about 1/8 of it left after using it on just about everything I own and 50 client’s boats, motors and trailers.

Nice! The first one I saw online was 33.00 for .25oz (3cc)! I was about to say screw that and get some lithium grease instead but, I just had to look a little more to find the 2oz. tub. I’m fine with paying that much for a couple ounces.
That is seriously good to know though. I mainly fish saltwater so I plan on getting as much as can out of that tub.

It doesn’t take much. It’s worth the cost. Buy tef gel

I've had a few years of trouble free experience with my Micro Jacker, I ran the wiring and relays inside the engine cowling.

Tef-Gel is no joke the very best. Particularly good for dissimilar metals, i.e. stainless hardware into aluminum

Yeah those are about to all be HMP Nano plates and possibly some On the Fly powered plates.
