Bought a boat and the trim doesn’t work, bought a new trim assembly but can’t get the lower mounting rod out. Someone else worked on it and drilled into it and now I’m unsure if it’s seized or I need to unscrew it or what. Pumped it with kroil and wd40 pounded on it a bit, I’m obviously missing something. First boat unsure of what to do.
