following well considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:



Now, I am wondering if the pounds-rating of my torque
wrench is in term of inch-pounds or feet-pounds. It doesn't say. Is
this something supposed to be "understood" like "if it doesn't say, it
must be feet-pounds"?

No.... don't make that assumption.

Good advice. In dentistry, we tighten implant abutments to 35 N-cm. 1
lb-ft equals 135.5818 N-cm. If I assumed lb-ft when the manufacturer
said "tighten to 35", I'd wrench the patient's head off.




Welcome back. Where have you been?


Boating. Fishing. Working. Hawaii. Boating. Fishing. Working. Boating.
Fishing. Working.




With the vacation and all the boating and fishing when do you find time for
work? ;-)

How long were you in Hawaii and what islands did you visit?

8 days. Maui. Fished the Finest Kind...a 37' Merritt. Pretty boat,
handles well, raises fish, but LOUD.

Snowbirds.



I bagged a couple over the past week. That snowstorm sent a bunch of them
fleeing south to the warmer weather. Still no Canadians though. ;-)


Still beautiful up here. Maybe after all the leaves have fallen and
the cold November rains arrive.

We had high winds and torrential rain today with temperatures in the 50's.
I was going to pick up our boat and bring it home today........a job that
can now wait till tomorrow.

YES

Thanks for the confirmation. And this means that I have over-torqued
the bolt by 12 times, and now two of the bolts have broken and I will
need to remove the stud left in the hole -- oh well...

Sounds like I'll have to go through my patient database, and start calling
the Ohio snowbirds.
