Anyone have an idea of signs to look for to make sure I'm not overtightening my keel bolts on my C&C 29-2? I tightened them last weekend using a torque wrench and went to about 205 ft lbs for the 1 in bold and about 70 ft lbs for the the 1/2 inch; both of which are below the values listed on the torque specs. I noticed that the washers were becoming deformed (is that normal?). I don't want to overtighten and crush the hull or deform the keel.
Thanks, Gene "Hawk" C&C 29-2
