Mike. According to C&C plans and Rob Mazza you should have four keel bolts. The most forward one is approximately one foot aft the mast compression post. On my MK 2 I had to cut a hole in the cabin sole to access it. Try running your hand forward from what you are assuming is the most forward bolt. As far as torquing, the values are in Black Arts. Be careful not to over torque because because of possible keel bolt failure. As far as pulling the nut and caulking underneath, intuitively this should not work because the leaks is outside and you are caulking inside. I have no experience with torquing the bolts, but when the card checked mine it was with the boat out of water resting on the keel ard jack stands. Maybe fill the smile as David Weatherston did. Hope this helps. R McCall Water Rat Mark 2. FYCJ Netherland 1974 Mk II, Water Rat Fairhope Yacht Club Fairhope, Alabama |
