i am trying to remove my handpole to get the ski ready for paint. oh yeah its a sn superjet. i cant get the center bolt that goes through the pole and base mounting bracket off. any help would be great.

Remove the two nuts. The only thing that could possibly be holding it is corrosion. Apply penetrating oil and keep turning the bolt while tapping it with a block of wood.
