Keel Bolts/Nuts - 32-3

[Mindscape]

After all this discussion on keell bolts I broke out the trusty torque wrench thinking I'd check my keel bolts out. Turns out I didn't have a big enough socket. I believe they I need a 1.5 inch socket but thought I'd check with folks here. I searched around and believe it's 1.5 inches but I figured with the keel bolt discussions someone probably knows this answer. Can someone let me know the socket sizes required for the keel bolts. Thanks!

Frank,

I will be headed down to the boat sometime today or tomorrow. I will measure the keel bolts and let you know.

Frank-
Just checked the socket I bought to do this last year, it is 1-1/2 inch, and is a 3/4 inch drive, from Sears.

Thanks!

Thanks Sam and Clayton - I'll be aquiring a 1.5 inch socket this week to take up over the weekend.

Frank,

Was down at the boat last night and checked. I thought there may have been a difference between the 32-2 and the 32-3. But no, Clayton was right, 1 1/2 inch socket should do it.
