Last season, I ended up having my boatyard doing this.  I have no idea of the 
last time this was done but it was before 2010.  The boatyard used Ken Heaton’s 
torque values.  In order to loosen some of the nuts, an impact tool was 
required. - Ron

Ok Guys,

Since I have the mast out, this provides the rare opportunity to access ALL of 
the keel bolts.  I've measured each of the bolt and nut diameters and checked 
the archives for torque specs.  I intend to buy a toque multiplier and the 
appropriate sized sockets.  I think I can do it for less than the yard is going 
to charge and I'll come out of it with some tools.  I'll also be able to tell 
myself that it was done correctly.

  

That being said it sounds like the best practices are are follows:

-  be on the hard

- loosen the bolts one at a time, clean, and lubricate with tef-gel

- reinstall and torque at progressively higher levels.

  

I was unable to find the torque spec for my 1.5" bolt in the website but Ken 
Heaton cited 600lbs in one of his past responses.

  

Keel bolts (fwd to aft):

         Nut                       stud               torque

1 - 1 1/2 (38mm)    1 (25mm)          350

2 - 2 3/16 (56mm)  1 1/2 (38mm)  600?

3 - 2 3/16 (56mm)  1 1/2 (38mm)  600?

4 - 2 3/16 (56mm)  1 1/2 (38mm)  600?

5 - 1 7/8 (47.5mm)1 1/4 (32mm)   450

6 - 2 3/16 (56mm)  1 1/2 (38mm)  600?

7 - 1 1/2 (38mm)    1 (25mm)          350

8 - 3/4 (19.5mm)    1/2 (13mm)      80

  

  

Anything I'm missing?

  

  

Thanks,
