keel bolts

I need to torque my bolts on a 1974 Mark II. I measured the bolts and it looks like I have 3 at 1" and 1 at 3/4". Should I loosen them first then torque? Anybody heard of these thing snapping off?

Thanks, John

[Search for the term "bolt" or "keel"; that will take you to an extensive discussion of the topic, including whether to back them off, grease them or whatever. Yes, it is possible to break them. - Admin]

Re: keel bolts

I snapped a bolt on a c&C24 by trying to tighten before loosening. The stainless was quite corroded.copasetic
