I have heard that to do this properly, one needs to have the boat on dry dock and the keel supported; otherwise the weight of the keel would make it almost impossible to tighten the bolts properly. If this is so, trying to retorque the keel bolts with the boat in the water would not be effective. Does anyone know if this is true?
