[C320-list] Keel Bolts

[Allan S. Field]

   Directly from Gerry Douglas.  He originally told me something less,
   like 125, but came back and corrected himself to 235.  We had to
   purchase a bigger torque wrench after Gerry corrected this to 235.

   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?

   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
