6.2. Distribution Module

The Distribution Module provides power and communication to the Seakeeper Ride Controllers mounted to the transom. The Distribution Module should be installed on a structurally sound vertical surface, mounted with the Seakeeper logo upright.

A minimum of 5 in. (12.7 cm) of clearance is required beneath the Distribution Module to allow for proper installation of cables.

The Distribution Module must be mounted close to both Controllers, as the Actuator Cables are 10 feet (3.0 meters) long. To accommodate the cable length, the Distribution Module should be mounted in the stern of the boat as high as practical to minimize exposure to bilge water.

For Quad Actuator systems, two (2) Distribution Modules must be mounted. Very large and wide boats may require that the two Distribution Modules be mounted away from each other on port and starboard sides of the stern to allow for the Actuator Cables to reach. (In this case the P1 and P2 Actuators will be plugged into one Distribution Module, while S1 and S2 Actuators will be plugged into the other Distribution Module.)

Note: Actuator Cables cannot be extended due to power loss restrictions.
