Do you have access to a tool rental shop? You might try to find an electric "chipper". It's a small, hand-held hammer that accepts various bits. Often used to remove tile from counters/floors. I know you said you have limited access but maybe you can use it with one hand and not have to do the swinging action with a mallet. Another idea is to not use your windlass to haul the chain out but use block and tackle back to your winch. Lifting the whole mass to the top of the chain locker and then dropping it a few times might break it up.

Posted by: gegcarter I have just posted photos of our new security system for the companionway. As you can see the feature can be used both when leaving the boat as a extra strength to locking the companionway and when inside the boat if you want air and wish to leave the companionway open but feel you are staying in perhaps a potentially unsafe anchorage.

Posted by: karkauai 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 and replace the zincs as needed every 4-6 weeks. I was surprised to see no zinc on the prop when we hauled out, and dismayed to see severe electrolytic corrosion of the prop shaft when I started changing the seals. I posted a pic at the KristySM243 folder https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/photos/albums/948071197/lightbox/1877878820 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/photos/albums/948071197/lightbox/1877878820I need advice on what is involved in removing the prop shaft. Is it necessary to remove the bottom of the drive aft of the keel? I guess I'm going to look into isolating the boat electrically.

Top ^ 2b Re: Prop Shaft Electrolysis Fri Mar 28, 2014 5:24 pm (PDT) . Posted by: "sailormon" kimberlite1212 Wow !! That looks awful. I use a galvanic isolator on my AC circuit and also have the pedestal turned on only one day a week. So far in 3 months in the marina in the Caribbean I have used one kilowatt of electric. There is a small zinc on the line cutter, and of course the 2 big ones on the rudder. I am very sorry for the condition of your prop shaft. I believe there should be a drawing of your c drive in the owners manual . I believe replacing the shaft is a big project. It is also possible that a neighbor is putting AC into the water. Did you have the marina check your AC outlet on the pedestal and the water around your boat?

Do you have access to a tool rental shop? You might try to find an electric "chipper". It's a small, hand-held hammer that accepts various bits. Often used to remove tile from counters/floors. I know you said you have limited access but maybe you can use it with one hand and not have to do the swinging action with a mallet. Another idea is to not use your windlass to haul the chain out but use block and tackle back to your winch. Lifting the whole mass to the top of the chain locker and then dropping it a few times might break it up.

I have just posted photos of our new security system for the companionway. As you can see the feature can be used both when leaving the boat as a extra strength to locking the companionway and when inside the boat if you want air and wish to leave the companionway open but feel you are staying in perhaps a potentially unsafe anchorage.
Arcglow in Almerimar (Spain) can be contacted by email, arcglow@gmail.com, if anyone is interested.

That's a very creative way of solving that issue Keith. I'm impressed.

Very nice done! What a good idea!
But we can't figure out the lock solution. Can you post a better picture on that?

2a Prop Shaft Electrolysis
Fri Mar 28, 2014 12:00 pm (PDT) . Posted by: karkauai
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 and replace the zincs as needed every 4-6 weeks. I was surprised to see no zinc on the prop when we hauled out, and dismayed to see severe electrolytic corrosion of the prop shaft when I started changing the seals. I posted a pic at the KristySM243 folder https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/photos/albums/948071197/lightbox/1877878820 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/photos/albums/948071197/lightbox/1877878820
I need advice on what is involved in removing the prop shaft. Is it necessary to remove the bottom of the drive aft of the keel?
I guess I'm going to look into isolating the boat electrically.
Sigh,
Kent

Wow !!
That looks awful.
I use a galvanic isolator on my AC circuit and also have the pedestal turned on only one day a week. So far in 3 months in the marina in the Caribbean I have used one kilowatt of electric.
There is a small zinc on the line cutter, and of course the 2 big ones on the rudder.
I am very sorry for the condition of your prop shaft. I believe there should be a drawing of your c drive in the owners manual . I believe replacing the shaft is a big project. It is also possible that a neighbor is putting AC into the water.
Did you have the marina check your AC outlet on the pedestal and the water around your boat?

3a Rusted Ball of Chain in the Chain Locker
Fri Mar 28, 2014 12:03 pm (PDT) . Posted by: karkauai
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 success. Right now I'm soaking it in Vinegar.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

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. Acid would probably do it but fumes from muriatic acid would every toxic. I soaked it vinegar for 24 hrs and no improvement.
Need some other suggestions.

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.

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.

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!

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 with electrolysis?

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 success. Right now I'm soaking it in Vinegar.
Any ideas?

I've looked at the local big box stores for a "chipper" or electric chisel, but haven't found anything. I'll look on line when I get home tomorrow.
Thanks again ,

Do you have access to a tool rental shop? You might try to find an electric "chipper". It's a small, hand-held hammer that accepts various bits. Often used to remove tile from counters/floors. I know you said you have limited access but maybe you can use it with one hand and not have to do the swinging action with a mallet. Another idea is to not use your windlass to haul the chain out but use block and tackle back to your winch. Lifting the whole mass to the top of the chain locker and then dropping it a few times might break it up.

I have just posted photos of our new security system for the companionway. As you can see the feature can be used both when leaving the boat as a extra strength to locking the companionway and when inside the boat if you want air and wish to leave the companionway open but feel you are staying in perhaps a potentially unsafe anchorage.
Arcglow in Almerimar (Spain) can be contacted by email, arcglow@gmail.com, if anyone is interested.

Very nice done! What a good idea!
But we can't figure out the lock solution. Can you post a better picture on that?

2a Prop Shaft Electrolysis
Fri Mar 28, 2014 12:00 pm (PDT) . Posted by: karkauai
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 and replace the zincs as needed every 4-6 weeks. I was surprised to see no zinc on the prop when we hauled out, and dismayed to see severe electrolytic corrosion of the prop shaft when I started changing the seals. I posted a pic at the KristySM243 folder https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/photos/albums/948071197/lightbox/1877878820 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/photos/albums/948071197/lightbox/1877878820
I need advice on what is involved in removing the prop shaft. Is it necessary to remove the bottom of the drive aft of the keel?
I guess I'm going to look into isolating the boat electrically.
Sigh,
Kent

Wow !!
That looks awful.
I use a galvanic isolator on my AC circuit and also have the pedestal turned on only one day a week. So far in 3 months in the marina in the Caribbean I have used one kilowatt of electric.
There is a small zinc on the line cutter, and of course the 2 big ones on the rudder.
I am very sorry for the condition of your prop shaft. I believe there should be a drawing of your c drive in the owners manual . I believe replacing the shaft is a big project. It is also possible that a neighbor is putting AC into the water.
Did you have the marina check your AC outlet on the pedestal and the water around your boat?

3a Rusted Ball of Chain in the Chain Locker
Fri Mar 28, 2014 12:03 pm (PDT) . Posted by: karkauai
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 success. Right now I'm soaking it in Vinegar.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

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. Acid would probably do it but fumes from muriatic acid would every toxic. I soaked it vinegar for 24 hrs and no improvement.
Need some other suggestions.

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.

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.

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!

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 with electrolysis?

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 success. Right now I'm soaking it in Vinegar.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi Kent, I like the idea of what I call a jack hammer, you see them on road work sites. Not one that big but they come in all sizes. the smallest are electric and then you move up to air operated. I would go for the biggest you could fit through the locker door and use with one arm. Hope you work it out OK Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl ________________________________ From: Kent Robertson <karkauai@yahoo.com> To: "amelyachtowners@yahoogroups.com" <amelyachtowners@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, 29 March 2014 3:02 PM Subject: Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Digest Number 3386 I've looked at the local big box stores for a "chipper" or electric chisel, but haven't found anything.

You might try to find an electric "chipper". It's a small, hand-held hammer that accepts various bits. Often used to remove tile from counters/floors. I know you said you have limited access but maybe you can use it with one hand and not have to do the swinging action with a mallet. Another idea is to not use your windlass to haul the chain out but use block and tackle back to your winch. Lifting the whole mass to the top of the chain locker and then dropping it a few times might break it up.

Posted by: karkauai 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 and replace the zincs as needed every 4-6 weeks. I was surprised to see no zinc on the prop when we hauled out, and dismayed to see severe electrolytic corrosion of the prop shaft when I started changing the seals. I posted a pic at the KristySM243 folder https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/photos/albums/948071197/lightbox/1877878820 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/photos/albums/948071197/lightbox/1877878820 I need advice on what is involved in removing the prop shaft. Is it necessary to remove the bottom of the drive aft of the keel? I guess I'm going to look into isolating the boat electrically.

I use a galvanic isolator on my AC circuit and also have the pedestal turned on only one day a week. So far in 3 months in the marina in the Caribbean I have used one kilowatt of electric. There is a small zinc on the line cutter, and of course the 2 big ones on the rudder. I am very sorry for the condition of your prop shaft. I believe there should be a drawing of your c drive in the owners manual . I believe replacing the shaft is a big project. It is also possible that a neighbor is putting AC into the water. Did you have the marina check your AC outlet on the pedestal and the water around your boat?

Thanks Danny, I'm looking for something like that now. Will probably have to use acid and a jack hammer.

Hi Kent,
I like the idea of what I call a jack hammer, you see them on road work sites. Not one that big but they come in all sizes. the smallest are electric and then you move up to air operated. I would go for the biggest you could fit through the locker door and use with one arm.
Hope you work it out OK

I've looked at the local big box stores for a "chipper" or electric chisel, but haven't found anything. I'll look on line when I get home tomorrow.
Thanks again ,

Do you have access to a tool rental shop? You might try to find an electric "chipper". It's a small, hand-held hammer that accepts various bits. Often used to remove tile from counters/floors. I know you said you have limited access but maybe you can use it with one hand and not have to do the swinging action with a mallet. Another idea is to not use your windlass to haul the chain out but use block and tackle back to your winch. Lifting the whole mass to the top of the chain locker and then dropping it a few times might break it up.

1a Feeling secure

I have just posted photos of our new security system for the companionway. As you can see the feature can be used both when leaving the boat as a extra strength to locking the companionway and when inside the boat if you want air and wish to leave the companionway open but feel you are staying in perhaps a potentially unsafe anchorage. Arcglow in Almerimar (Spain) can be contacted by email, arcglow@gmail.com, if anyone is interested. Keith on Guma

2a Prop Shaft Electrolysis
Fri Mar 28, 2014 12:00 pm (PDT) . Posted by: karkauai
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 and replace the zincs as needed every 4-6 weeks. I was surprised to see no zinc on the prop when we hauled out, and dismayed to see severe electrolytic corrosion of the prop shaft when I started changing the seals. I posted a pic at the KristySM243 folder https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/photos/albums/948071197/lightbox/1877878820 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/photos/albums/948071197/lightbox/1877878820 I need advice on what is involved in removing the prop shaft. Is it necessary to remove the bottom of the drive aft of the keel? I guess I'm going to look into isolating the boat electrically. Sigh, Kent SM243 Currently Tiger Point Marina, Fernandina Beach, FL

Wow !! That looks awful. I use a galvanic isolator on my AC circuit and also have the pedestal turned on only one day a week. So far in 3 months in the marina in the Caribbean I have used one kilowatt of electric. There is a small zinc on the line cutter, and of course the 2 big ones on the rudder. I am very sorry for the condition of your prop shaft. I believe there should be a drawing of your c drive in the owners manual . I believe replacing the shaft is a big project. It is also possible that a neighbor is putting AC into the water. Did you have the marina check your AC outlet on the pedestal and the water around your boat?

3a 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.

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. Acid would probably do it but fumes from muriatic acid would every toxic. I soaked it vinegar for 24 hrs and no improvement. Need some other suggestions.

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.

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.

Hi Kent, The bit at a time advice form someone sounds good, start at the free end and chip and pull chip and pull. A warning about using acids in an enclosed space because of the gasses released. In our small community over some years a number of people have died entering or working in poorly ventilated hold areas on barges, and people entering to assist them have either died also or been seriously affected. I am aware of such cases world wide. Gases in confined spaces are not to be trifled with. Full hooded positive pressure respirators are needed unless the area has been very well ventilated before entry. If the physical methods don't work perhaps you should call in a pro. We Amel owners are far too busy sailing to take time out to attend your funeral. As to prevention, when I notice my chain beginning to rust I get it re-galvanized before the rust eats it away and reduces it's strength. Just had my 100 metres (about 325ft) hot dip galvanized for NZ$400. New chain was around NZ$1200 to $1400 . Wishing you the best of outcomes Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl ________________________________ From: Kent Robertson <karkauai@yahoo.com> To: "amelyachtowners@yahoogroups.com" <amelyachtowners@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, 30 March 2014 3:20 AM Subject: Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Digest Number 3386 Thanks Danny, I'm looking for something like that now.

I like the idea of what I call a jack hammer, you see them on road work sites. Not one that big but they come in all sizes. the smallest are electric and then you move up to air operated. I would go for the biggest you could fit through the locker door and use with one arm.
Hope you work it out OK

I've looked at the local big box stores for a "chipper" or electric chisel, but haven't found anything. I'll look on line when I get home tomorrow.
Thanks again ,

Do you have access to a tool rental shop? You might try to find an electric "chipper". It's a small, hand-held hammer that accepts various bits. Often used to remove tile from counters/floors. I know you said you have limited access but maybe you can use it with one hand and not have to do the swinging action with a mallet. Another idea is to not use your windlass to haul the chain out but use block and tackle back to your winch. Lifting the whole mass to the top of the chain locker and then dropping it a few times might break it up.

Posted by: karkauai 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 and replace the zincs as needed every 4-6 weeks. I was surprised to see no zinc on the prop when we hauled out, and dismayed to see severe electrolytic corrosion of the prop shaft when I started changing the seals. I posted a pic at the KristySM243 folder https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/photos/albums/948071197/lightbox/1877878820 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/photos/albums/948071197/lightbox/1877878820 I need advice on what is involved in removing the prop shaft. Is it necessary to remove the bottom of the drive aft of the keel? I guess I'm going to look into isolating the boat electrically.

Top ^ 2b Re: Prop Shaft Electrolysis Fri Mar 28, 2014 5:24 pm (PDT) . Posted by: "sailormon" kimberlite1212 Wow !! That looks awful. I use a galvanic isolator on my AC circuit and also have the pedestal turned on only one day a week. So far in 3 months in the marina in the Caribbean I have used one kilowatt of electric. There is a small zinc on the line cutter, and of course the 2 big ones on the rudder. I am very sorry for the condition of your prop shaft. I believe there should be a drawing of your c drive in the owners manual . I believe replacing the shaft is a big project. It is also possible that a neighbor is putting AC into the water.. Did you have the marina check your AC outlet on the pedestal and the water around your boat?

Kent, I share Danny's concerns about acidic fumes in an enclosed area, you do not want to breath that stuff. Assuming that your locker floors are not rotted out as mine were and do not need to be replaced, than one suggestion would definitely get your chain out in less than an hour start to finish. The port side locker is larger, using a sabre saw I would cut a square hole say 16 " x16' or 18"x18" , draw your lines ,drill a 1/4" hole in one of the corners for the blade and saw your hole, pull your chain out, scrub out your chain locker . Then take two pieces of 1"x4" two inches longer than the width of your hole, apply epoxy to the top of the 1x4 place on the underside of the locker on two sides leaving 1" exposed for the piece you cut out to rest upon, screw the pieces to the locker floor from above or from underneath. Once epoxy cures, place the cut out section in place and secure with a couple screws. Now you can access the chain locker in the future. I would also coat all the cut edges of the plywood with epoxy to seal them. As a contractor, I have patched many holes in floors, ceilings and walls using much the same method. This is one suggestion that will solve your problem with a minimum of time and expense. It sounds as though you have another problem that will require a little of both. I am sorry for your run of bad luck, the photo didn't look good, I have no suggestions for that one.
Good Luck,
Pat SM Shenanigans

A warning about using acids in an enclosed space because of the gasses released. In our small community over some years a number of people have died entering or working in poorly ventilated hold areas on barges, and people entering to assist them have either died also or been seriously affected. I am aware of such cases world wide. Gases in confined spaces are not to be trifled with. Full hooded positive pressure respirators are needed unless the area has been very well ventilated before entry. If the physical methods don't work perhaps you should call in a pro. We Amel owners are far too busy sailing to take time out to attend your funeral. As to prevention, when I notice my chain beginning to rust I get it re-galvanized before the rust eats it away and reduces it's strength. Just had my 100 metres (about 325ft) hot dip galvanized for NZ$400. New chain was around NZ$1200 to $1400 .

You might try to find an electric "chipper". It's a small, hand-held hammer that accepts various bits. Often used to remove tile from counters/floors. I know you said you have limited access but maybe you can use it with one hand and not have to do the swinging action with a mallet. Another idea is to not use your windlass to haul the chain out but use block and tackle back to your winch. Lifting the whole mass to the top of the chain locker and then dropping it a few times might break it up.

Posted by: karkauai 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 and replace the zincs as needed every 4-6 weeks. I was surprised to see no zinc on the prop when we hauled out, and dismayed to see severe electrolytic corrosion of the prop shaft when I started changing the seals. I posted a pic at the KristySM243 folder https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/photos/albums/948071197/lightbox/1877878820 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/photos/albums/948071197/lightbox/1877878820 I need advice on what is involved in removing the prop shaft.

I use a galvanic isolator on my AC circuit and also have the pedestal turned on only one day a week. So far in 3 months in the marina in the Caribbean I have used one kilowatt of electric. There is a small zinc on the line cutter, and of course the 2 big ones on the rudder. I am very sorry for the condition of your prop shaft. I believe there should be a drawing of your c drive in the owners manual . I believe replacing the shaft is a big project. It is also possible that a neighbor is putting AC into the water.

Thanks again Danny and Patrick. I share your concerns and won't do the acid thing without professional advice/help. The port locker access certainly sounds doable and unless I'm completely convinced about the acid I will first try the "chipper/jackhammer" idea and if that doesn't work will make a new access via the bow locker.
I have a cousin who works for the Navy at the nearby sub base who thinks he can get a pneumatic "needle gun" that they use in similar projects. I'll let you know how it goes.
I do appreciate your concerns.
Kent

Kent, I share Danny's concerns about acidic fumes in an enclosed area, you do not want to breath that stuff. Assuming that your locker floors are not rotted out as mine were and do not need to be replaced, than one suggestion would definitely get your chain out in less than an hour start to finish. The port side locker is larger, using a sabre saw I would cut a square hole say 16 " x16' or 18"x18" , draw your lines ,drill a 1/4" hole in one of the corners for the blade and saw your hole, pull your chain out, scrub out your chain locker . Then take two pieces of 1"x4" two inches longer than the width of your hole, apply epoxy to the top of the 1x4 place on the underside of the locker on two sides leaving 1" exposed for the piece you cut out to rest upon, screw the pieces to the locker floor from above or from underneath. Once epoxy cures, place the cut out section in place and secure with a couple screws. Now you can access the chain locker in the future. I would also coat all the cut edges of the plywood with epoxy to seal them. As a contractor, I have patched many holes in floors, ceilings and walls using much the same method. This is one suggestion that will solve your problem with a minimum of time and expense. It sounds as though you have another problem that will require a little of both. I am sorry for your run of bad luck, the photo didn't look good, I have no suggestions for that one.
Good Luck,
Pat SM Shenanigans

Hi Kent,
The bit at a time advice form someone sounds good, start at the free end and chip and pull chip and pull.
A warning about using acids in an enclosed space because of the gasses released. In our small community over some years a number of people have died entering or working in poorly ventilated hold areas on barges, and people entering to assist them have either died also or been seriously affected. I am aware of such cases world wide. Gases in confined spaces are not to be trifled with. Full hooded positive pressure respirators are needed unless the area has been very well ventilated before entry. If the physical methods don't work perhaps you should call in a pro. We Amel owners are far too busy sailing to take time out to attend your funeral.
As to prevention, when I notice my chain beginning to rust I get it re-galvanized before the rust eats it away and reduces it's strength. Just had my 100 metres (about 325ft) hot dip galvanized for NZ$400. New chain was around NZ$1200 to $1400 .
Wishing you the best of outcomes

Hi Kent,
I like the idea of what I call a jack hammer, you see them on road work sites. Not one that big but they come in all sizes. the smallest are electric and then you move up to air operated. I would go for the biggest you could fit through the locker door and use with one arm.
Hope you work it out OK

I've looked at the local big box stores for a "chipper" or electric chisel, but haven't found anything. I'll look on line when I get home tomorrow.
Thanks again ,

Do you have access to a tool rental shop? You might try to find an electric "chipper". It's a small, hand-held hammer that accepts various bits. Often used to remove tile from counters/floors. I know you said you have limited access but maybe you can use it with one hand and not have to do the swinging action with a mallet. Another idea is to not use your windlass to haul the chain out but use block and tackle back to your winch. Lifting the whole mass to the top of the chain locker and then dropping it a few times might break it up.

I have just posted photos of our new security system for the companionway. As you can see the feature can be used both when leaving the boat as a extra strength to locking the companionway and when inside the boat if you want air and wish to leave the companionway open but feel you are staying in perhaps a potentially unsafe anchorage. Arcglow in Almerimar (Spain) can be contacted by email, arcglow@gmail.com, if anyone is interested. Keith on Guma

2a Prop Shaft Electrolysis
Fri Mar 28, 2014 12:00 pm (PDT) . Posted by: karkauai
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 and replace the zincs as needed every 4-6 weeks. I was surprised to see no zinc on the prop when we hauled out, and dismayed to see severe electrolytic corrosion of the prop shaft when I started changing the seals. I posted a pic at the KristySM243 folder https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/photos/albums/948071197/lightbox/1877878820 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/photos/albums/948071197/lightbox/1877878820 I need advice on what is involved in removing the prop shaft. Is it necessary to remove the bottom of the drive aft of the keel? I guess I'm going to look into isolating the boat electrically. Sigh, Kent SM243 Currently Tiger Point Marina, Fernandina Beach, FL

Wow !! That looks awful. I use a galvanic isolator on my AC circuit and also have the pedestal turned on only one day a week. So far in 3 months in the marina in the Caribbean I have used one kilowatt of electric. There is a small zinc on the line cutter, and of course the 2 big ones on the rudder. I am very sorry for the condition of your prop shaft. I believe there should be a drawing of your c drive in the owners manual . I believe replacing the shaft is a big project. It is also possible that a neighbor is putting AC into the water. Did you have the marina check your AC outlet on the pedestal and the water around your boat?

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.

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.

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..

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.

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!

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!

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???

Hi Kent,
if the "needle gun" does not make it, in your situation I would use a small angle-grinder to cut the knots. A small one allows to use it with one hand through the port locker manhole.
Better: both in cunjunction;
Hope you will make it without too much pain.

Kent,
Alain has the solution. A handheld grinder/cutter with a really good blade. This way you can cut it out in chunks that fit through the access panel. Find yourself a young boy, show him how to do it and sit back and let it happen.

There have to be child protection laws about that here in the US. Maybe a small Asian would fit in there? I'll go on Craig's List. K

Hi Kent , Sorry to hear you are having so much trouble, either of those problems could lie in wait for any of us. Thinking about your back, if you can rent a small battery powered 4 inch grinder tape it to a short pole or piece of wood then it should be easier to get inside the locker. Better to stuff any old material that will not ignite in there as well to absorb the hot pieces of metal as they will stick on to your gel coat. Good luck. Trevor Seafever Ireland

Thanks Trevor, Hadn't thought of the hot metal being a problem. I'm looking at small grinders and "chippers" or electric or pneumatic chisels right now. I'll let you all know what I come up with when I find something that works. Kent
