Trying to replace trim tab on mercruiser outdrive.
5/16 bolt stripped by last owner. Any ideas how
to get it out.

Thanks
Trim tab is off. (several guys suggested this)
Pounded oversized wrench in head of bolt.Didn't think it was going
to hold,but it moved a little and finally after several soakings got
it off.Was almost ready to break out the drills. Now on to this water
pump- impeller thingy.
I want to thank everybody again for all the help and suggestions.
Could not have done it alone. Have several other issues that I'm
sure I'll be running by you guys, as for now I think I'll go fishing
in my 50 gallon outdoor pond sittin in the driveway on my "new" old
boat.
Thanks again
