A couple of thoughts:
There are devices called torque multipliers. These devices can often be
arranged to brace themselves in the bilge against the walls. A 5:1
multiplier would mean that you would only have to produce 70 ft-lbs of
force. Should be easier.

Hi
My 20 inch adjustable torque wrench tops out at about 120 pounds, so you have a
ways to go. You need a bigger wrench – suggest rental. There is a device called
a torque multiplier, but I couldn’t find one locally, so added an extension to
a 2 foot breaker bar and hauled on it like crazy. Checked
With 20" torque wrench you will need to exert 210-230 lb of force (at
the 20 inch mark). More likely 230-260 lb force at about 18" on the
torque wrench. A torque multiplier will help as will a longer torque
wrench. We used to have to torque the fuse bolts on Laser Guided Bombs
to 650 ft-lb.
The torque wrench I use for this is 3/4 inch drive and the handle is
about 3 1/2 feet long. I bought it used from a retiring heavy equipment
mechanic. I have a small collection of extensions to get it just above
the floorboards. I would worry about safety using a 3/8 or 1/2 drive
that might fa
Why do you want to tighten your keel bolts ? Do you have a "smile" If it
ain\t broke, dont fix it.
I had to replace my washers on my 25, and ended up using a 4 ft extension
to take them off. Then I tightened them to what approximately felt right,
which was close to the most torque I could give it,
True. I just found a 250 ft-lbs torque wrench at Amazon for $55, which is a
good price

Remember that most of these joints are bedded with 4200, 5200, or similar.
These materials cushion any flex between the keel and the hull. Anything
applied over the bedding will likely be less squishy and more brittle
(fairing compound, epoxy, barrier coat, bottom paint).
I agree, it doesn't look
Thank you guys. Appreciate the help. Sounds like I need to hit Amazon for
a torque multiplier and a beefier wrench if I'm going to do this. I was
wondering how the heck I was going to get to 350 ft lbs - that's more
torque than the chevy 350 I had in my old truck. I started to imagine
V8-powere
Call tool rental shops and see if you can rent a torque multiplier. Also
remember that you must first loosen the nut then torque it.

In 2004 I noticed the smile on my boat, when I hauled out. I could also move
the keel, so I knew I had a problem that wouldn't go away. I had the yard drop
the keel, and when they flushed out the keel bolt holes, a smelly substance
came out (like someone died in there). The forward keel

If those big keel bolts are torqued right I would expect very little
"cushioning" to happen so check the torque on the nuts when she's on the
hard and adjust to specs also found on the CNC site then do option a or b

I have had some painful experience with a torque multiplier!
Whether tightening or loosening, you should be wary of how much force you are
applying to the fastener. Fasteners or sockets can fragment.
I would recommend either some pretreatment with penetrating oil, and or
heating/cooling.
Always loosen before tightening. Going too strong too early is a recipe for
disaster.
