6. Rudder system
Rudder parallelism setting:
You can adjust the parallelism of your rudders. It is possible because the screw threads are inverted
on port and starboard. After having removed the blocking screw, at each extremity, simply turn the
link tube one way or the other to adjust its total length. Always keep 20mm of thread in the tube.
Firmly screw the blocking screws back.
Maintenance:
The bearings do not need any particular attention. A regular fresh-water clean-up is however
advised. To grease the bearing, use marine quality grease.
Removing a rudder:
To unmount a rudder: disconnect the link tube, unscrew all the bolts along the rudder-shaft, make
sure the rudder is supported and only then, remove the top cube.
7. Draining
The Pogo 30 comes with a bilge pump system composed of a manual pump in the cockpit and an
electrical pump in the aft part of the technical zone.
They are both linked to the same circuit. The inlet is situated at the end of the transportable tube,
rolled in the technical area and the water come out in the cockpit. You can access any part of the
boat using this tube. A filter is installed right before the pump.
It is recommended to regularly check the pump and also that the filter is not blocked.
The total capacity of the system cannot sustain the boat sinking or with excessive waterway.
It is recommended to regularly check the water tightness of the system and that of the seacocks and
loch/speedo instruments to avoid any leak. Always keep emergency plugs close to the seacocks.
To dry the bilges, we recommend you remove the carpet slip floor regularly.
