I've always wondered why there is an insistence amongst some East
Coast members to retorque keel-bolts on the hard.
On the Left Coast the boats are out of the water for only a day or
three and it seems too valuable to do something as mundane as
resetting keel nuts!
check the chart:

one bolt will hold at least three or more keels to the bottom.
Has there been bad experience torgue'ng keelbolts while floating?

Even more so when you loosen them!
You asked if there was anything you were missing. A critical step
is to be on the hard when you torque the bolts.
