I used a "hit it with a hammer" type of screw breaker on the fasteners on my binnacle. Use some WD40 or PB Blaster and maybe some heat (I had to do it all), but got them all out without breakage. The only negative with a hammer drill is holding it hard enough against the screw to avoid rounding out the slot.

The mast tracking is in place, but I can't break the bottom fastener, in order to install the T-Track. Likely, corrosion b/t the fastener and mast is the issue. Has anyone had any experience - good or bad - using a hammer drill to break the corrosion bond?? thanks. Pete W.
