I am looking for two used car travellers for a Catalina 25. I already have two but they seem to be seized or something, unable to pull up the locking stud from the track .....have sprayed with WD40.... With another product used on Oil Drilling Rig with no avail. JUST maybe someone else has had the same problem. HOPE SOMEONE can help. I left my boat in Newfoundland last summer, a 17hrs drive from the USA/Canadian Border. Along Canada's east coast, with hopes to view the icebergs up close this spring of 2017.

Just FYI i used a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF fluid to remove the keel bolts on my boat and that was after trying everything else i could find. To do it you just make a dam around the parts you want to treat with butyl tape and then fill with the mixture, let stand overnight. It is by far the best penetrating solution you will find for rusted parts. search - Keel bolt nuts replacement - by slim

I have one with a spring lock and one screw lock, but won't have access to them until April. You will still have to get the old one off.
