That stuff is a real pain in the ass………

Might I suggest foul language and throwing tools. It won’t fix the problem, but it really goes a long way psychologically.…….

Only kick the dog as a last resort. The dog will probably be already hiding at this point. So you might need to hunt it down….. Lol


I read a lot of 5200 threads on other forums. If there was a secret procedure……. I would post it. The above answer is based on previous reads. lol

Good luck Jet, I wish you luck!

Heard a funny one once, "They call it 5200 cause it sticks for 5200 years" !!!!

I was about to recommend a multi-tool, or gasoline and a match

Multitool with the flat blade/scraper attachment. Make sure you keep it super sharp.

If it’s a bolt bedded in that stuff use a car battery for heat.

5200 will still be there. The boat will just disappear

I used diamond coated wire purchased off Amazon to cut off a jet pump transom adapter that was installed with that shit. Made a clean cut, no damage to paint around the adapter.
Very time consuming, made handles from 1/2 copper pipe to allow me to pull it back and forth, no paint damage which was my goal.

Remove the bolts first
