5. Swing keel
This chapter does not concern the owners of a Pogo 3 6 with a fixed keel
The Keel must be in the full down position while sailing, except when
approaching the marina or in shallow water.
The keel can be lifted only while motoring.
Operating the keel:
Considering the electrical power needed it is necessary to start the engine before maneuvering the
keel.
Once the engine running, the lifting or lowering of the keel is operated by the buttons situated on
the port side of the central furniture.
You may at any moment stop the movement of the keel by pressing the red stop button.
Access to the hydraulic system:
To access to the hydraulic system, remove the wooden panel situated on the port side of the central
furniture, under the table.
Maintenance:
A regular checkup of the oil level is recommended to detect eventual leaks. A draining of the
hydraulic system must be done every two years.
Regulating the oil leveling must be done with the keel in its lowest position
The type of oil used is ISO-L-HV type, grade 46 (mineral hydraulic oil, 46 centistokes viscosity).
