Trim tab actuator

Post by Jkraft »

Hi all I’m in a jam. I went to take the boat out and noticed I had one tab not working. When I came back I see why, the actuator is no longer hooked to the trim tab. The anode and the bolts are gone. The bolts go into the threaded plastic on the actuator. The plastic is stripped. There is no room to get a nut on the back side. The boat is in the water and is want to use it. Is my only option to replace the actuator assemblies and a haul out? Any temporary fixes?
