Tedd, Josh Great. I'll try Ted's method next time I go so I shoudn't need to get the multiplier. It's the standard keel and the mast is out so I can get to the forward nut.
Thanks.

I assume you have the standard 5'-3" draft model which has a larger and deeper bilge than the 4'-0" shoal draft version. The extension doesn't have to be so long as to raise the torque wrench above the settee. Just get a long enough extension so that the wrench clears the top of the cabin sole. Sit on the sole with the end of wrench handle facing aft. Brace your legs against the vertical face of the settee and your back against the settee on the opposite side. This will give you enough leverage to reach the 350 ft. lb. torque on the largest bolts. You'll need a 12" long extension for those nuts. Don't forget the nut hidden under the mast. That's the one that makes the "smile" if you neglect to torque it on a regular basis.
