If the keel bolts and nuts are stainless I'd use Tef Gel as a lubricant and
lower the torque values 10% as Neil suggested.

Lower all torque values by 10% if using any lubricant. Most torque
values are for "clean and dry threads".

I'm planning on checking the torque on my keel bolts this week-end. My boat
is on the hard. I see the torque chart values on the C website, but it
doesn't indicate whether or not to lubricate the bolts and what to use if
you do lubricate. It's my understanding from a little research that the
