when my boat was hulled out for the winter I noticed a 1/8 inch or so crack around the keel. I torqued two keel bolts to 250lb, from previous post the recommended torque is 180lb but I only have a torque up to 250lb. The other torque wrench I have goes to 600lb and is a monster to handle and not sure it would fit in the cabin. I did not notice any movement on the bolts. I plan on moving the post that supports the mast to torque the third bold. If the bolts don’t move is it worth grinding out the crack and filling it G/flex or something similar. I am think the crack will come back when the boat is put back in the water. Any thoughts
