It was a little unclear y your description which you were measuring. Have you seen my video? I provided extra info in the video description. I'll link it here and copy the description text too. https://youtu.be/n6B0IPKQERc I used the torque values from the link below as a guide. 316 SS lubricated. https://www.fastenal.com/content/feds/pdf/Torque%20of%20Stainless%20Steel,%20Non%20ferrous%20Torque.pdf https://www.boltdepot.com/fastener-information/nuts-washers/us-nut-dimensions.aspx C&C 37+ Keel bolts (fwd to aft): Nut stud torque 3:1 multiplier #1 - 1-1/2 1 255 = 85 x 3 #2 - 2-3/16 1-1/2 615 = 205 x 3 #3 - 2-3/16 1-1/2 615 = 205 x 3 #4 - 2-3/16 1-1/2 615 = 205 x 3 #5 - 1 7/8 1-1/4 465 = 155 x 3 #6 - 2-3/16 1-1/ 615 = 205 x 3 #7 - 1-1/2 1 255 = 85 x 3 #8 - 3/4 1/2 38 Here are a few pictures. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1G3HVN_jj0PYa0e5Otk9nwdqVoR4CYTCy Tef-gel https://www.ultratef-gel.com/tef-gel/ Looks to me like from the description your bolt matches my #5 bolt. I got the sockets on ebay and yes most of them where ~$50. I made sure to get deep 6 point sockets 3/4" drive so that my breaker bar and torque multiplier would fit. Let me know if you have any other questions. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Tue, Jun 26, 2018, 3:14 PM bushmark4--- via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: Help! I am working on the torque for my keel bolts; (1985 37 CB); I am having difficulty in two areas; No 1. finding a deep well socket for tightening the keel bolts; my problem seems to be the size of the bolt; (or more likely, my poor measuring); I measure the bolts at 1 3/32; no one carries a socket for that size; it seems to translate to between 27 and 28 metric, and the least expensive deep well sockets I can find are about $30-50 bucks apiece; can anyone point me in the right direction? Am I measuring wrong? or is there a standard size I should go with... No. 2; do the torque measurement numbers on the Photo album apply to centerboard keels and as well as fixed keels? any help is appreciated...many thanks Richard s/v Bushmark4; 1985 C&C 37 CB; Ohio River, Mile 596: Richard N.
