Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Prop Shaft Electrolysis

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Rusted Ball of Chain in the Chain Locker
What does everyone think about Hydrochloric acid? No damage to the hull? Fumes? How to get rid of it afterward?
Not sure what the heat gun would do???
I don't understand what you're talking about

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Rusted Ball of Chain in the Chain Locker
Alternatives to think about:
1. Hydrochloric acid;
2. Heat gun;
3. Electrolysis (maybe you won't have enough room for this)

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Rusted Ball of Chain in the Chain Locker
Been there and done that. Such a small access that I'm bruised on the arm and ribs from squeezing in there.
I hit the mass with a 5 lb hammer and nothing budges!
Keep em coming!

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Rusted Ball of Chain in the Chain Locker
Never heard of that product Mark, but I'll see if I can find it. Soda blasting would only hot the surface, but maybe could help a bit at a time.
Keep those ideas coming!
Thanks,
Kent

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Feeling secure
Very nice done! What a good idea!
But we can't figure out the lock solution. Can you post a better picture on that?

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Rusted Ball of Chain in the Chain Locker
Another thought. Since you are in a yard - soda blasting? It would be a mess to clean up but it would probably do the trick.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Rusted Ball of Chain in the Chain Locker
Kent,
What about something like Boeshield RustFree Rust and Stain Remover? Perhaps a multiple application to a specific area will give you the break you need to get the ball small enough.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Rusted Ball of Chain in the Chain Locker
Problem is getting the old one out of the chain locker. It won't budge because it's all rusted together. The limited access to the locker means the fix has to be chemical rather than mechanical.

Rusted Ball of Chain in the Chain Locker
I've also discovered that the last 100ft or so of my anchor chain is rusted into a huge solid mass in the chain locker. I've sprayed a ton of PB Blaster on it and beat it with a hammer without much

Prop Shaft Electrolysis
I have just hauled Kristy out to repaint the bottom after 2 1/2 years. She's been sitting in the water in a marina at Brunswick GA for the last 2 years where I've hired a diver to clean the bottom

I was in a sewing shop/bimini maker/sail loft today and they were making a new leather cover for a helm wheel. I know Turkey is a long way from you, but possibly this will give you an idea of
