If you can wait, I have both sockets on my boat and can look at the sizes. I 
used ¾” drive.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Stus-List Prepping for 35-1 Keel Bolts/Smile Fix

Hi  listers,

First of- thanks for all of your suggestions for rebuilding my navtec backstay 
adjuster. It was serviced by a shop in Oyster Bay, NY and the local rigger 
(Jeff Lazar, whom I can't recommend enough) handled the removal and reinstall. 
So, onto the next project!

I've been buying tools as I need them for projects, and this spring I'm going 
to make sure my keep is securely attached to the boat.

Obviously I'll need a torque wrench, a socket, and an extension for the forward 
bolt at the mast. Does anyone know offhand what size bolt is in the 35-1? 
Otherwise I'll add calipers to the list of tools.

The nuts and bolts are rust free, and the PO replaced the iron washers with 
stainless backing plates. I can see they were bedded with a some caulking. I am 
going to remove the nuts, one by one, clean and rebed the backing plates with 
4200, and bring the bolts to somewhere below the final torque setting for a few 
days before the finishing the torquing to 100%.

Once that is done and it warms up, I am going to address the leading edge of 
the keel with gflex, fair it, and paint the bottom.

Am I missing anything obvious in the bolt torquing procedure?

Thanks,
Tom
