Section 1: MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
1.0 Introduction
This document is intended to give details and guidance to a boat builder or equipment installer to
install the Seakeeper 6 Stabilization System. The Seakeeper is capable of producing loads up to
17 KN (3820 lbs.) at each of the four mounts and careful consideration should be given to
foundation design to insure it is capable of transferring these loads into the hull.
There are two methods of installing the Seakeeper 6:
1) Bolt-In Installation
2) Saddle Installation
It is assumed that the installer is familiar with bonding using high strength adhesives or
mechanical fasteners to marine structures and has performed structural analysis to assure
the structure to which the Seakeeper mounts can properly transfer the loads the Seakeeper
creates into the hull structure. If the installer has any doubt about the ability of the
structure to transfer the loads to the hull then he should contact a licensed naval architect
or marine engineer to do a structural analysis.
The installer should review the following list of reference drawings to ensure the installation
procedure is fully understood.
