Roline, That's a helpful webpage with details of your keelbolt refurb!

Several months after having it delivered, a couple of the keel bolts weeped a little. So in my infinite wisdom, I applied a torque wrench only to find one the bolts to spin and not get tighter.

Getting back to the original question, "
should a keel bolt torque check be part of a survey?" It seems like checking the torque may reveal a gross problem like a stripped thread, helping to avoid some surprises, but won't reveal all possible issues.
