Re: Bilge and Keel Bolts


 

i haven't seen any torque specs unfortunately - there are some standard torque specs for certain size/grade stainless bolts - my guess is 100 ft lbs is probably ok - that is what i sort of did.

recommend using double nuts to ensure they stay torqued and tight - especially with stainless bolts.

I've been wondering about my rusty keel blot washers too. Why in the
world wouldn't they have been stainless?
I would like to replace them this spring as they are pretty crumbly.
How tight do we torque the nuts? (If it ever stops snowing.)

Thanks,

Bob
