SYSTEM OPERATIONS-73
SEAKEY (OPTIONAL)
Please be aware - You must subscribe
to the SeaKey Service in order for the
SeaKey System to work.
The SeaKey Satellite Communication Sys-
tem is installed on your yacht at the fac-
tory. It is comprised of the following items:
High Water Alarm Switch
SatCom Sending Unit
Display Control Unit
Your SeaKey System always has battery
power to it. This is a major advantage over
the VHF Radio, which may be accidentally
turned off.
HIGH WATER ALARM SWITCH
The high water alarm uses the same
switch as the Mid Bilge pump. Please also
be advised that the switch is only in the
mid compartment. Other compartments
could fl ood fi
rst and the switch would
not be activated. The switch will only be
activated when the normal operating bilge
pumps have failed and cannot handle the
incoming water fl ow.
SatCom SENDING UNIT
The SatCom Sending Unit is installed
under the fl ybridge on your yacht. This
unit sends out a low frequency signal to
the satellite, which in turn sends the signal
to the receiving location. You must know
the location of the Sending Unit. If anyone
is standing in front of the Sending Unit,
they could block the signal from going to
the satellite. Refer to the SeaKey Owner’s
Guide for more information.

DISPLAY CONTROL PANEL
The Control Panel has many functions.
Refer to the SeaKey Owner’s Guide to
understand all the important features of
the control panel.
Your SeaKey System draws its’ power
from the batteries in your yacht. If the
batteries go dead, or if the batteries are
removed from the system, the system will
send a signal to the receiving station. Be-
fore removing power from your system we
recommend contacting SeaKey Member
Services for the proper procedures.
