INSTALLATION
MANUAL
Section 1: MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
cured thickness between the vessel structure and the Seakeeper saddles is at the thinner end of
the adhesive manufacturer’s recommended range. Therefore, the fixture should be used to
confirm that the overall dimensions of the foundations are square and level and that the adhesive
gap is within Seakeeper’s recommended range of 1 to 3 mm (.04” to .13”).
Note: Do NOT use the installation fixture to establish the Seakeeper envelope dimensions.
Refer to Drawing No. 90226 for envelope dimensions. A 3-D model of the Seakeeper is
available on the Seakeeper Technical Library (
0TU
www.seakeeper.com/technical-library/
U0T
) to
aid in designing the Seakeeper foundation and the space around the Seakeeper.
NOTE: MAKE SURE NO OBSTRUCTIONS FROM THE HULL STRUCTURE CAN BE SEEN WITHIN THE INSIDE
OF THE INSTALLATION TEMPLATE KIT (INSIDE THE MARKED RED LINES). REFERENCE SEAKEEPER
