- Electromechanical mechanism without the need for a hydraulic system.
- Compact mechanism with no visible moving parts, suitable for conventional layouts.
- Keel assembly and disassembly similar to traditional fin keels.
- Minimal annual maintenance required, with manual or portable electro-tool operation in emergencies.
- Patented system allows precise control of the keel position, lockable in any position.
- Smooth movement without vibration, with locked end positions to prevent noise.
- Complies with standards for grounding in both raised and lowered positions.
- Operable at any speed with the keel in any position.
- Digital display for keel position.
The system uses an electromechanical screw jack within a jacket secured in the fixed fin. The bulb is connected via flanges, and a fiberglass shell forms the aerodynamic profile.

The Keel Servant LIFTING KEEL SYSTEMS HOW IT WORKS The lifting mechanism is made up of a stem, driven by an electromechanical screw jack that works inside a jacket that is inserted and secured in the fix fin of the keel. According to specific needs, the stem and jacket section can be rectangular or tubular, and the fix fin can be made in HR stainless steel or in cast iron. The bulb is connected by a pair of flanges, one of which is integral with the shaft (sliding) of the mechanism and the other is inserted in the bulb itself during melting. A fiberglass shell is screwed to the bulb and fits...

ADVANTAGES compared to a HYDRAULIC LIFTING KEEL Unlike other telescopic keels, The Keel Servant is a patented NON hydraulic system. In addition to the typical benefits of a traditional telescopic keel, it offers countless additional advantages: • t does not need a hydraulic system with its i problems, possible oil leaks, need for expansive periodic maintenance, noise • he required space inside the hull is relatively small t and is fixed, with no visible moving parts (i.e. lifting cylinders) • ssembly is extremely simple. Only two 12V or a 24V power cables, and the connection of the switchboard...
