The hydraulic setting of the keel
Pressure switch setting :
The pressure switch settings are completed in the Shipyard and must not be modified.
However, if it is inadvertently disturbed, reset the setup by default: 160 bar for the two orange
adjusting rings. The pressure switch is situated in the forward part of the system, behind the black
knob.
To turn the orange adjusting rings, remember to unlock them, with the superior
black adjusting ring.
6. Rudder system
Rudder parallelism tuning :
The bar connecting the two rudders works like a turnbuckle, to tune the parallelism you can turn one
side or another to extend or to retract the bar. After having loosened the locking 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 tighten the locking nuts.
Maintenance :
The bearings do not need any particular maintenance. A regular fresh-water clean-up is however
advised, to avoid accumulation of dirt on the rings. The lower levels should be rinsed every year
before launching the boat. To grease the bearing, use marine quality grease.
