Tom,
I can get a torque wrench and I have the sockets, if you'd like to
borrow them. Contact me off list.

Hi listers,
First of- thanks for all of your suggestions for rebuilding my navtec
backstay adjuster. It was serviced by a shop in Oyster Bay, NY and the
local rigger (Jeff Lazar, whom I can't recommend enough) handled the
removal and reinstall. So, onto the next project!
I've been buying tools as I need them for projects, and this spring
I'm going to make sure my keep is securely attached to the boat.
Obviously I'll need a torque wrench, a socket, and an extension for
the forward bolt at the mast. Does anyone know offhand what size bolt
is in the 35-1? Otherwise I'll add calipers to the list of tools.
The nuts and bolts are rust free, and the PO replaced the iron washers
with stainless backing plates. I can see they were bedded with a some
caulking. I am going to remove the nuts, one by one, clean and rebed
the backing plates with 4200, and bring the bolts to somewhere below
the final torque setting for a few days before the finishing the
torquing to 100%.
Once that is done and it warms up, I am going to address the leading
edge of the keel with gflex, fair it, and paint the bottom.
Am I missing anything obvious in the bolt torquing procedure?
Thanks,
Tom
