Peter, I just had my keel bolts torqued by my yard. Haven't got the invoice yet. Some of them required 600 ft-lbs. For that, it took two guys even with a torque multiplier. All nuts and washers were removed and bolt threads were cleaned. Some nuts required heat and impact tool to remove. Old 5200 under washers was removed and re-bedded. (Kind of wish I had told them to use butyl rubber.) I have 8 bolts including two under mast step.
If I get a bill for 8 hours for 8 bolts, given my circumstances, I'd be as happy as one could be. I thought of doing this project myself and had some great guidance from other listers but ran out of time.
