[Rhodes22-list] Floor Board Removal and Repair

[ROGER PIHLAJA]

JP,

There really isn’t room for a torque wrench on many of those bolts.  I just snug them up in a crisscrossed pattern.  As long as the silicone RTV is squeezing out all around the joint, all should be well.

On my boat, the lazarette and bilge are separate.
