1.5.3 Installation of Seakeeper
1) Locate and position 4 isolation gaskets onto
foundation beams. NOTE: A
VERY SMALL
AMOUNT OF SEALANT MAY BE APPLIED
TO THE GASKET TO KEEP WATER FROM
WICKING INTO THE JOINT. Isolation
gaskets are only required when mounting to a
structure other than aluminum or GRP.
2) Lower Seakeeper into position onto
foundation beams and align over drilled
holes.
3) Install Seakeeper supplied M16 fasteners as
shown in figure to right
–
apply a moderate coat
of nickel based anti-seize compound to the
threads
of each bolt prior to installation.
4) Torque all fasteners to 100 ft-lbs (136 N-m).
5) Apply a small bead of sealant (silicone or caulk) around the perimeter of each isolation mount
where it rests on the beam. This will prevent water from wicking between the parts and setting
up corrosion.
6) Proceed to electrical and cooling portion of the installation.
