5.1 - Lowering the Keel
a)

f)e)
b)
Put the keel hoist into it’s pot (inside the
hatch just to the port side of the keel).
Add the velcro retaining strap as shown.
Shackle the strap from the
keel hoist onto the keel.
Once you are in deep
enough water, wind
the keel down using
the hoist.
You can now launch the boat.
Unshackle the rope from the keel,
remove the hoist and replace the
hatch.
If you keep winding once the
keel is fully raised you risk
damaging the boat.
Before you lower the keel for the
rst time use electrical tape to mark
a position on the keel hoist that is
level with the top of the keel. This
is a reference point to tell you when
winding the keel back up you have
reached the top.
Do not let go of
the handle!
