[C320-list] Keel Bolts

[Bryan Morton]

I had a follow up the keel bolt information from Allan Field from March
24th.  I contacted Catalina directly on the Keel Bolt torque.  Catalina
told me the bolts should be torqued to 100 ft lbs.  I was wondering where
the 235 ft lbs number came from?

Best regards

   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
