Rain, a while back The Beneteau dealer that I bought our boat from send me a email about service specials. Among them was re-torquing the keel bolts to 85 pounds. I thought the same thing that does not sound like enough, but then i was thinking much more and you could be crushing fiberglass between the keel and the washer.

I did send them back a email and said thanks for the spec. but I will do this one myself. This fall they did not list the 85 pound spec in their fall service specials.
