You will need long extensions to get into the bilge.

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

wrench (250 pounds), appropriately sized keel bolt socket (1.5-inch,
6-point) and extension pieces available for loan through the toolbox
program. 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

know the proper torque and bolt size is? 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.
