VARIABLE DRAFT KEEL

The fixed ballast is an iron casting which acts as a grounding plate and as transverse stiffening for the keel unit. It is fitted into a recess in the hull in the area of the keel box with stainless steel bolts. The aerofoil swing keel is cast iron and incorporates a stainless steel pivot at the leading edge. The swing keel is raised and lowered by a hydraulic ram powered by an electrically driven pump with a manual back up. All hydraulics are easily accessible for maintenance. A keel control panel and gauge showing keel position is fitted at the wheel pedestal. A removeable stainless steel pin positioned to enable the keel to be locked in the “UP” position.
