SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Seakeeper Model 7000 Gyro uses gyroscopic principals to reduce boat roll motions in waves
and wakes independent of boat speed. One Model 7000 Gyro will reduce the roll motions of a
boat that displaces 15 to 25 tons. Boats with higher displacement typically require multiple gyros
to provide good roll reduction. In multiple gyro installations, the gyros operate independent of
each other and therefore this manual only discusses operation of a single unit.
A Model 7000 Gyro consists of a gyro assembly, gyro control junction box, motor drive junction
box, network connection boxes (2), and operator display and keypad. The following pictorial
diagram illustrates the interconnection of these components and their interface with the boat.
