Southerly Lifting Keel
The unique Southerly Swing Keel provides deep draft for powerful windward performance and at the 'touch of a button' the keel can be raised to just 2'4'' for shallow draft freedom, allowing you to sail in coastal areas and inland waters.
For over two decades, we have been at the forefront of manufacturing high-quality senders and gauges specifically designed for the Southerly Lifting Keel or Swing Keel systems. Our expertise in this niche market has allowed us to refine and improve our products continually, ensuring optimal performance and reliability for Southerly yacht owners.
The senders we produce operate on a sophisticated yet reliable principle, utilizing a series of reed switches activated by a magnet. This technology ensures accurate keel position readings throughout the range of motion. While the underlying mechanism remains consistent, we offer a wide variety of sender lengths and configurations to accommodate the diverse range of Southerly yacht models and their specific keel arrangements. Each sender is tailored to the unique specifications of individual vessels, ensuring seamless integration with existing systems.
When it comes to replacing a sender, we recommend sending us your old unit for assessment. This allows us to either replace the internal electronics or provide a complete unit replacement, depending on the condition and compatibility requirements. To ensure proper functionality, it's crucial to inform us about the number of gauge panels the sender feeds, as this impacts the configuration of the replacement unit.
Over the years, our gauge panels have undergone several iterations, each representing a significant improvement in design, functionality, and durability. We've focused on enhancing weather resistance, modernizing the aesthetics, and incorporating cutting-edge components to meet the evolving needs of sailors and the harsh marine environment.
Our current gauge panel from laminated aluminium for superior durability and corrosion resistance, it features a sleek, modern appearance that complements contemporary yacht interiors. All electronic components are securely housed behind the panel, providing additional protection against moisture and salt spray. Each panel comes equipped with a genuine Carling rocker switch, known for its reliability and longevity in marine applications.
To accommodate all the different yachts, we offer our gauge panels in both portrait and landscape orientations. For landscape configurations, customers can choose between having the switch positioned on the right or left side of the panel, allowing for optimal placement and ease of use within the yacht's cockpit or navigation station.
As each panel is custom-made for individual Southerly yacht models, we kindly request customers to allow 7-21 working days for dispatch. This lead time enables us to maintain our high standards of quality and precision in manufacturing these specialised components for the Southerly Lifting Keel system.
