Is there a boat that anyone knows of that uses pneumatic bags to move a canting keel?
i have looked on google and found nothing.

perhaps you could make a air bag crane so you end up with more travel to raise and lower the keel light bit like a scissor lift

Trouble with pneumatic actuators is that it takes time to build up pressure, so it would be slow acting. Air compressors are also noisy.
