Crusader keel update
Went to torque the 9 bolts I located. The first 3 took no to 1/2 a turn
tighter. Number 4 came out in my hand! I stopped at that point and started to
research what's next. I guess I'll be sistering new bolts.Also want to thank
you for the tip on the chain plates. They were on my list and just a quick look
is scary! I lost 2 chain plates 6 hours out of Roatan on a GulfStar 50 5 years
ago, so know that drill.

I worked on one of these a few years ago and the shroud chain plates looked
scary. Inspect them well.
