amsshaw Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Hi all, As in my other post Ive been around the whole boat doing everything up. I noted that the beam bolts where a tad loose and I easily got a 1/2 turn out of them without going stupid with them, just firmed them up a tad. I relise you shouldnt over tighen any bolt of any kind but just wondering if that is normal? This boat hasnt seen much upkeep at all Im affraid.......

TornadoSport260 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Its fairly normal that after you tighten the beam bolts the first time, you should get a bit extra after your first sail. The beams "settle" with some twisting etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
