Fit the

nut. Tighten the
nut. Westerly
Yachts Ltd
do
not
use
a
torque
setting
for
tightening keel
bolts, but as a
guide,
24mm bolts should
be
tighted
to 150ft lbs, 20mm
bolts
to
85ft
lbs
and
1Smm bolts
to
55ft
lbs.
10 Fit
and
tighten the locknut
to
30% of
the
torque figure
required for the full nut.
11 When the
sealant
has
cured,
coat the whole assembly
with
gelcoat.
Resin
or
paint
will
suffice
if
gelcoat
is not
available.
This will
both seal
and lock
the threads.
12 Regularly
inspect the
repaired
area
for
signs
of leaks until
satisfied that the repair
is totally watertight.
