[C320-list] Keel bolts

[argates2nd at comcast.net]

For the Assn torque wrench, which I borrowed this winter, it said 235 foot lbs for the 320. Three of my keel bolts were either not SS, or were inferior SS, and were so badly corroded that they needed to be cut off with a dremel & chisel and replaced. The first seven bolts were torqued on the hard and the last 3 in the water once the defective bolts were removed and by then I felt that the keel was well snugged. Rollie #182

If I remember correctly, 105ft/lbs...don't quote me on that...one thing to note is that they should do it while the boat is in the water, that way the keel is snug up on the boat....

Anyone know what the keel bolts should be torqued at? I hauling the boat and thought it might be a good time to have them checked. 

Thanks,
