I have never figured out which one I have. It has roll pins to connect the
foils. Can never find the right pins and am missing the top cap and have
one broken connector. I kept all the pieces just in case I broke the new
one like I broke this one. I don't like the new one. It is 1" in diameter,
has
I have a Broken ¼ - 20 broken carriage bolt with around 2 threads showing out
my transom.
1 ½” is embedded in epoxy. An easy-out seems unlikely. I did four, three of
them unscrewed successfully, but apparently I didn’t coat this one thoroughly
enough with the Vaseline.
I am thinking that
I don't know about all the other questions but the heat will happen
wherever the highest resistance is. So if the copper wires have sufficient
gauge one might expect the bolt would heat up. One would have to compare
feet of copper to inches of steel to determine where the load will be. As
to damage
Can you just grind it away and leave it.

You can probably drive the bolt back through the transom using a hammer or
sledge hammer, and then a punch and a hammer. A hard strike should break it
free from the epoxy. If it's truly a carriage bolt, you don't want to try
to turn it. A carriage bolt has a round head and a square neck.

The electrical idea is basically a dead short it’ll either trip a fuse or melt
something other than the bolt. - plan B required.
Could you somehow bore around the screw?
Could you cut a slot in the head and try an impact driver?
Could you drill 3-4 holes small holes close around the screw then
I'd get a 1/8 reverse drill bit. Drill hogs make a great product. Heat it
with a soldering iron and then after getting a good center punch on the
remaining stud start the reverse drill. Epoxy will be gooey and should let
it go pretty easy. You could probably get away pretty easily with a butane
