Easier? Yes! But at the same time much heavier. Here I have one servo doing three things at the same time: Canting the keel, lifting and lowering the two daggers. Reliability is 100% by now.
@@skeedrc7495 Ahh, you need to tilt the keel. I understand it now. I thought that you need just to extend/retract the daggerboards. It looks good then. How will you seal the opening around the keel rotation point? The keel will be placed probably more in the front and connected via shaft so you need just normal grease?
OH STOP IT 🧐🤣🤣 . Very cleaver 😉😁
Very good job! I love so much your canting keel system!
Would it not be easier and more reliable to mount 2 servos direct at the keels?

I build a wet box around the keel rotating axis, so no need to seal the axis (which I guess would not be watertight anyway)
Everything between the two wooden sheets is the wetbox.
i also filled the side areas of the wetbox with construction foam to reduce its volume
Joa nice! Ist gut geworden!
