Introduction
This document is intended to give details and guidance to a boat builder or equipment installer to
install the Seakeeper 26. The Seakeeper can produce loads up to 35.89 KN (8,070 lbs.) at each
of the four mounts and careful consideration should be given to foundation design to ensure it can
transfer these loads into the hull. These loads do NOT include vessel motion accelerations, such
as vertical slam loads which can be significant for high speed performance vessels.
There are two methods of installing the Seakeeper 26:
1) Bolt-In Installation
2) Bond-In (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.
