Entretien quille relevable

Bonjour à tous, je viens de rentrer en possession d’un pogo 36 vieux de 5 ans.
Je n’arrive pas à trouver un manuel d’entretien qui se rapporte spécifiquement au cylindre hydraulique et pivot de quille. Deux pièces essentiales à la sécurité et la bonne marchent du bateau. Aurait-t-il par hasard des informations à ce sujet? MerciWelcome to AIP! To answer your question precisely, I suggest you first read the owner’s manual, which is already a good basis. Then, do you have any specific questions: maintenance, lubrication inside and out, mechanical use of the jib, time difference between raising and lowering, adjustment of the knob, possible de-sheathing, positioning of the pivot, etc.?
Hello Xavier, I assume that everything that is visible can be managed and maintained correctly for maximum safety, which is not the case for the hydraulic cylinder and the keel bearing. The same applies to the rudders…. So there are many questions about preventive maintenance, especially as the manufacturer hasn’t provided any precise details on the subject…
As for the bearing retention to the hull and the maintenance of the axle; is there a particular inspection regime and interval to follow? And what are the elements to be checked? Similarly for the hydraulic cylinder; is there an inspection regime to follow for rod corrosion and wiper seal wear? Are there any anodes to replace?
The owner’s manual is explicit about the use of the keel, but there’s no indication whether the keel can be permanently raised when the boat is moored at the quayside or in shallow water? Also, is there a locking mechanism to prevent the keel from dropping back under hydraulic release?
Of course, we can all dismantle the boat when it’s dry just to see; it’s a lot of work, even dangerous given the keel’s weight and length… We’re all called upon to keep our vessels running smoothly and safely, and sharing experience could save us a lot of trouble in the future. Thank you all!
P.S I’m doing my best to express myself correctly in French. I apologize….Hello
I have a problem with the receivable keel on my 10.50: it is not locked in the down position and swings slightly, causing the boat to feel like it is being thrown forward. The change of hydraulic power unit recommended by Chantier Structures did not solve the problem. Have you had this problem and what was the solution?
Thank you for your help

Hello
If the boat remains in the water, the keel must be kept 20% lowered.
If it is completely raised, the cylinder head will be in the water and the cylinder seals may suffer premature wear due to shells landing on them.
Hello Eric,
To give you the best possible answer, I’m missing some essential details: the age of your boat, any touches, details of the work you’ve done on changing the power unit, the current location of your boat, and details of the non-blocking at the bottom ….. Is it a rocking motion from front to back, or a lateral rocking motion, which is what I’ve had personally? Do you get the locking click when you lower it?
We can of course give you advice, but in any case Structures has a keel specialist whose expertise and maintenance is recognized by all. Hence my question: Can you come to Sainte Marine?
best regards Xavier
