Jean Marie has created a detailed step-by-step for removal and maintenance of the keel lift system. V et JM ROUX jeanmr35(at)gmail.com


December 27, 2009:

My name is Brian Stewart and I have successfully produced a new bronze nut for the lifting keel of my first211. The original failed after six years . The new nut is identical to the original and was machined by my self. If any viewers to your site from Ireland need help i can be contacted at first-211 (at) hotmail.com

Best regards, Brian

Description and photos of new keel lift from Beneteau.

Attached are drawings of the replacement keel lift mechanism that I recently installed. Also I have included a write up of some of the differences and similarities with the earlier design. Please take a look at the write up and see if it makes sense. If so, feel free to post the drawings and the write up on the owner's web site.
