Hi! New owner here. I bought 1998 Wave. Overall cat in good condition but few things broken: two bolt that holding rudder broken. Is this screws screwed into some kind of inserts? What is best way to extract them without creating more problems?   Thanks, Andrew |

Yes, there are molded-in inserts. May be aluminum or stainless on this year vintage. Newer boats use bronze. Will require careful drilling to limit heat and a screw extractor. |
