Hi all, I'm new here.... bought this lovely Hunter 30 T last spring, and had a great season of sailing in 2019. This springs had some work done on the keel, and now want to tighten keel bolts, as I doubt they have ever been done, since 1994. Any advice? Cant seem to find anything in manual regarding bolt sizes or recommended # of torque.... Thanks in advance
Keel bolts
- Thread starter Sailing Nalu
- Start date
If not leaking nor any cracking in keel joint seen where keel is joined to hull, as a former sailboat dealer I would suggest leaving it alone
Interesting.... the keel joint was cracking a bit, and some fairing falling out, so we had that repaired, but we just thought maybe it made sense to check the keel bolts before launching.
Trying to stay home as much as possible, we haven't been down to the boat, but from looking at our pictures, the keel bolts do not appear obvious. We may just end up leaving them alone.
