sheared screws
The pre owner of my boat had installed fiberglass splash rails and over the years many of the screws corroded out or were sheared off at the head. I am almost at the painting stage in my boat so I removed the splash rails, I was able to remove the majority of the screws but for the ones with no head and barely any shaft sticking out I was unable to. What is the best way to remove them?
Thanks, George

Re: sheared screws
You can use a small drill bit and drill numerous holes around the screw until you can get it loose, push the drill to elongate the holes until they connect with the other holes and eventually you work the screw loose. Fill the holes with epoxy and move on.

Re: sheared screws
Use a dremel with a thin cut-off wheel to slice a groove in the end of the exposed part of the screw. Once you have the groove cut, use a flathead screwdriver to back it out.
