Good spot for one of these:

Whereas I prefer an impact driver, this driver might also work. Has a nice
selection of bits. Select the proper size Phillips, place it in the slots,
apply loosening pressure and whack it with a hammer.
This is my "go to" tool for a lot of jobs on the boat. I have 3 sets; boat,
truck, house.

we removed ours yesterday from 1984 C&C37 by inserting large phillips
screwdriver bit tightly into head of screw, hitting it with a hammer
(vertically into the mast) to help break the corrosion seal and at the same
time using a vice-grip to apply turning pressure (CCW). It took a long time for
my wife and i to get the first one done, but after that with more confidence
and rapid hammer hits the next ones did not take so long. Make sure the
screwdriver bit is large enough and tightly into the bolt head as you do not
want to damage the phillips head or it is game over. Make sure you strike the
bit aquarely into the head. suggest you clean off any oil around it to prevent
slippage.Good luck!Jeff & Debbie J
