1.6.5 Installation of Seakeeper
1) Rig the Seakeeper for lifting and lower it into
position onto top surface of four saddles.
2) Adjust position of the Seakeeper until
alignment is achieved for the 32 fasteners that
will attach the Seakeeper foundation frame to
saddles.
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 saddle. This will
prevent water from wicking between the parts and
setting up corrosion.
6) Proceed to electrical and cooling portion of the
installation.
