1.5.3 Installation of Seakeeper
6) Locate and position 4 isolation gaskets onto
foundation beams (for metal to metal contacts only).
NOTE: Sealant or caulk is recommended to be
applied. Apply a small bead (approximately 4 mm
wide) of sealant (silicone or caulk) between both
mating surfaces of each isolation gasket where it
contacts the beam and the Seakeeper. This will
prevent water from wicking between the parts and
setting up corrosion. Check isolation gasket
alignment by test fitting bolts without any
obstructions.
7) Lower Seakeeper into position onto the hull
foundation beams and align over drilled holes.
8) Install Seakeeper supplied M16 fasteners
Or Grade
10.9, M16-2.0 bolts to maintain a minimum thread
engagement of .94 in (23.8 mm) – apply a moderate
coat of removable thread locker to the threads of
each bolt and include a small bead of sealant under each washer before installation.
9) Torque all fasteners to 135 ft-lbs (183 N-m). (revision 4 )
10) Proceed to electrical and cooling portion of the installation.
