Thanks for the info. I think I may have the right size socket but I will have to check my torque wrench.

The boat needs to be on the hard with at least 75% of the weight of the boat supported by the keel.  The bolts get torqued to 235 foot pounds.  To access the program, log-on to the website and submit a request.  You only pay the outbound and return shipping charges! - Allan Field

It has been to cold and snowy to go to the boat so may need to wait till I get to the boat to find out the size socket I need.
