I also use tef-gel to protect against galling however I never have backed off when redoing the torque on my bolts. I always go 10% less on the accepted engineering values. Its been 10 years since I redid my keel, backing plates are 5/16 stainless perhaps this year I will back off bolts and add more tef-gel. I usually redo them every 2 years.
