Removal of Etap Lifting Keels

[Guest]

Hi,

I've just had my new boat (an Etap 26) lifted out of the water and I attempted to remove her lifting keel. Whilst I followed all the instructions in the owners manual etc.. it would not budge no mattter how hard myself and the boatyard tried. If anyone has experience in getting these keels out for maintenance I'd be most grateful to hear from you.

Thanks in advance,

David
