I made the silly mistake of attempting preventative maintenance while 500 miles from home. Motored through lots of seaweed on my way to the Bahamas and thought checking the strainer would be a good idea. Unfortunately when I went to tighten the wingnuts the bronze bolt broke. Had to improvise for the 500 mile trip back home. Good thing I have a reliable bilge pump.
Can I find a replacement bolt for the Perko Strainer I have, or if that piece was corroded should i assume the rest is too and should be replaced? Any suggestions?
Sorry, I've done it before but can't figure out how to add a photo.
