Jeff,

I believe you might be right, when I saw 235 I was a bit surprised but thought it had been so long maybe I had forgotten..

Allan,

Just off the top, I thought the proper torque was something like 105 foot pounds. If that is the case, 235 pounds might tear the bolts right out of the keel. You might want to check your source.

  Warren - The proper torque for the keel bolts is 235 foot pounds.  The boat
  must be out of the water with at least 70% of its weight supported by the
  keel.  The Association has the torque wrench, socket and extension bars as
  part of the loaner program.
