It appears per list comments that it is OK to tighten my keel/centerboard 'trunk' without putting her on the hard. Since I can reach most of the nuts by removing the cabin sole, I figure its worth a try. I cannot reach the bolts under the mast this way but I can probably get to most of the othe

Yes - you are missing engine weight. My Avon is rated for both max HP and max engine weight. It is rated for 25 HP, but some 25 HP 4 strokes are too heavy. Try and find out what the weight spec is for your boat. How much does the 8 HP weigh? Joe Coquina From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...

Look in the description section of the video for useful links. https://youtu.be/n6B0IPKQERc If the flats of the nut are at 1-1/2 inch then the studs are 1 inch and you're looking at roughly 230 to 250 ft-lbs lubricated torque value. A large torque wrench from Home Depot or Lowes should max out

Thanks for chiming in Josh. I like not buying a multiplier! Will have a look for a 250 ft-lb wrench etc. and review your video. Good catch on the the stud size—my msmt was with a ruler across the stud but was likely across the inside of the thread groove—plus 7/8” seems a little strange for such

I could be wrong, but don't you also have to allow for the torque/flex of the extension, therefore if you have a listed 250# value to be measured, you add the 15# rating of the extension, making your goal readout at a new number of 265#s? I am only guessing at the extension value. Need to check our

I think you are correct re the extension since it likely ‘twists’ under the applied torque wrench torque.  Based on previous list comments about the precision/accuracy of all the factors that go into the recommended torque values, my guess is that with a reasonably built extension, the torque ‘w

Torque is not affected in this case by deformation of the extension or other hardware at all. Zero. Torque is force x moment arm length. Jeff Laman 1981 C&C34 "Harmony" Ludington, Mi From: David Miles Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2019 7:33 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-l
