Torquing Keel bolts on 2018 Beneteau Oceanis 45

Details on pre adventure torque spec and other info

Yes the dealer said they needed to be checked. He was obviously correct. I would check them on any new boat before I launched it . Then again in a year or so after that, then I might skip a few years. Supposedly there are some under the bulked that houses the forward head that no one can get to? That is another design flaw by Beneteau as the 2 forward ones I could get to were only at 150 and 180 ft lbs. Thanks for your questions. Nice to know someone appreciates the video.

Is this the first time re torquing the bolts?

[@anthonycostanzo6061]

The boat was just over a year old so yes. Why do you ask?

@@anthonycostanzo6061 I was wondering how often you may have to retorque

Why do those bolts get lose and why don't you use Nylock nuts

[@anthonycostanzo6061]

We didn’t change the nuts. The boat is under warranty now or was so we’re trying to keep everything stock it’s a 2018 and Beneteau gives you a five year warranty on almost everything they build not the subcontractors
