Default Torque Specs for 4-Point Docking Brackets

Does anyone recall the torque specs for the 4-point docking brackets, or know somewhere I can look them up? I've lost my instruction sheet. I seem to remember 17 ft lbs, but not sure if that's correct. My memory is not what it used to be.

Thanks for the help.

17 lbs is not very much. Just tighten it down good and tight, it will be fine.

17 ft-lbs for the screws into the threaded frame extensions.
10.5 ft-lbs for the smaller TORX screws.
