Keep in mind when applying torque, especially to stainless fasteners, you should be using lubrication! That does not mean oil of any kind, you should use whatever flavor of Loc-tite is appropriate for your application. You would be amazed at how much the threads of stainless heat up when turning down, which is why you should always torque is steps, moving from bolt to bolt in an equalized pattern. Loc-tiite blue (medium strength) is fine for most applications and is 'mostly' waterproof when cured as far as I know. There are other Loc-tite formulas specifically for salt water prone areas and stainless bolts, but buying $70 per oz liquid isn't always critical. The blue medium strength formula provides good lubrication while turning down to spec and great thread-locking performance.
The engineers handbook is a great reference for most fasteners, but be aware there are so many 'flavors' of bolts out there. On critical applications I use a very high grade stainless 12 point bolt that has 180,000 to 190,000 psi tensile strength depending on size. The manufacturer torque values for those are almost double what the Engineer's Handbook values are for the same size fastener. I always consider the handbook values to be 'low end minimum'.
