A quick update: Pretty much every nut needed tightening. I can’t recall exactly when I did it last, but it was probably at least 5-10 years ago. Water that was getting in the bilge is no longer getting in 😊
This raises a question: I cannot imagine that these nuts are backing off, so why is this a maintenance thing? I would think they would stay once set? * next time I am using a torque multiplier, my arms are still sore! Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I Kent Island MD USA
