My upper adjusting eye screw is seized in the rudder casting. Any remedies on how to get that bugger to break free??

Philip: I had the same problem. Hitting the casting with a heat gun and soaking it in PB Blast helped, but the eyebolt was not reusable.

That's fine, I just don't want to break the head off trying to get it out.

I also clamped the eyebolt in a bench vice to get enough torque on it. Your mileage may vary.

Snobol is very good at removing the corrosion. The thick stuff stays where you put it. Put some on and let it sit over night, rinse and repeat. Use patience, it didn't get corroded over night and you won't clean it out overnight.

if you've laminiated in a stainless steel backing plate, would it not suffer from that anaerobic corrosion that I've seen some shroud plates erode from on leaners?

I think the type of stainless matters and whether or not it's been electro plated.
