60 inch pounds

[ralphy670]

My torque wrench only goes down to 10 ft/lbs. I need to torque the water pump housing on my alpha 1 gen 2 sterndrive to 60 inch pounds or 5 ft/lbs. What does this feel like? I have a 1/2 drive torque wrench which has 5 ft/lbs but it is a deflecting beam type wrench. Would this be sufficient?

Thanks for the help

Just snug her down with a regular ratchet. It will do just fine.
