5. Swinging keel
This chapter does not concern the owners of a fixed keel Pogo 30
The Keel must be n the lower pos t on when sa l ng
Operation:
G ven the electr cal power needed to use the keel ram, t s necessary to start the eng ne tu use the
Hydraul c set of the keel (only for electr cal sw ng ng keel systems.
Once the eng ne s on, the keel movements are p loted by the two buttons located on the starboard
panel of the central.
You may stop the movement at any t me us ng the th rd red button.
Access to the Hydraulic system:
To access the hydraul c system, unscrew the 4 top aft screws of the central table. Then sl de the
ent re aft part of the table aft wards.
Maintenance:
A regular checkup of the o l level s recommended to detect eventual leaks. The system o l dra n must
be done every two years.
The o l level ng must be done keel n lower pos t on (or ram n shortest pos t on). NEVER EXCEED
MAX MARK, there are r sk of tank explos on.
The O l used s ISO-L-HV type, grade 46 (m neral hydraul c o l, 46 cent stokes v scos ty).

Tuning of the hydraulic system’s brake
The keel system s tuned at the sh pyard.
However, t m ght be necessary to have a look at the brake f the o l v scos ty changes w th
temperature. F ts and starts wh le lower ng the keel represents such a need.
When should you use th s sett ng:
The keel comes down by f ts and starts
The keel doesn’t reach ts bottom stop
How to adjust:
If the keel come down by f ts and starts, you have to t ghten the brake (turn clockw se). Be
careful, adjust w th f neness, turn by e ghth of a turn (max mum half a turn, usually e ghth of
a turn s enough).
The hydraul c brake s a turnable button that must be turned clockw se. The tun ng must be
made n w th precaut on and f neness. Usually, ⅛ of a turn s enough. Do not hes tate to
contact the sh pyard.
If the keel doesn’t reach ts bottom stop, t’s necessary to loosen the brake. To ver fy f the
keel s n bottom stop, look f the ax s of jack s n front of the porthole.

If the keel comes up by f ts and starts, you shouldn’t touch the brake
’
s
sett ng. It’s certa nly necessary to grease the rotat on system of the keel.
Every settings must be made in cold conditions.
