WOW, 250 ftlbs. The torque wrench I have only goes up to 150 and it's a
1/2" drive. How big is a torque wrench capable of turning 250 ft/lbs?

Allan,
I asked the technician at my local CY dealer. He knows his stuff. He said
that the torque should be up to 250 ftlbs. I stand corrected.

Bruce - My manual is silent when it comes to keel bolts. As for the keel
bolt torque schedule, according to Gerry, you are right - torque at
commissioning then at one year then never again. - Allan

Has anyone looked in the manual? Mine is down at the boat so I won't be
able to look till this weekend. I thought I read that it should be
tourqued
when commissioning and then again after one year. Supposedly it never
needs
to be done again.
My previous boat, a Sabre, was to be tourqued once a year to 90 ftlb.
The
debate we used to get into is that should the 90 ftlb be with well oiled
threads or dry (err wet if you have a wet bilge). The consensus was that
you should back off the nut, clean up the threads if requited, lightly oil
and then torque to spec.

Thanks fellas. I'd like to read that email if you dig it up. I emailed
Gerry
to get both the 387 and 320 torque specs. If he answers, I'll pass them
along.

Karl - Do you still have Gerry's e-mail re: keel bolt torque
specifications?
When I bought a new computer in December, I lost what he sent to us.
Perhaps if you still have it you can post it here for Jeff. - Allan

Gerry usually monitors these mail lists so if he disagreed with you I
suspect we'd have heard from him. I'm going to email him about checking
the
torque on my 387 as part of the initial commissioning, so I'll ask about
the
320 again just to make sure.

Jeff - My source for the keel bolt torque setting is none other than
Gerry
Douglas. At the factory tour a few years ago, he misspoke when he
said
something else. Karl questioned him later and then I followed up with
him,
reminding him that he had said something else at the tour. He
clarified
that he was speaking about a different boat. One of our members has
used
the 235 setting and while a challenge, was able to get it torqued to
235.

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.
