foundation saddles and the hull structure. Shear strength of the adhesive will be maximized if
the cured thickness between the vessel structure and the Seakeeper saddles is at the thinner
end of the adhesive manufacturer’s recommended range. Therefore, the fixture should be used
to confirm
that the overall dimensions of the foundations are square and level and that the
adhesive gap is within Seakeeper’s recommended range of 1 to 3 mm (.04” to .13”).
Note: Do NOT use the installation fixture to establish the Seakeeper envelope
dimensions. Refer to Drawing No. 90226 for envelope dimensions. A 3-D model of the
Seakeeper is available on the Seakeeper website (
www.seakeeper.com
) to aid in
designing the Seakeeper foundation and the space around the Seakeeper.
NOTE: MAKE SURE NO OBSTRUCTIONS FROM THE HULL STRUCTURE CAN BE SEEN WITHIN THE INSIDE
OF THE INSTALLATION TEMPLATE KIT (INSIDE THE MARKED RED LINES). REFERENCE SEAKEEPER
DRAWING NO. 90226.
