3. First Installation

The following instructions are for Legacy Software Version 2023.4.6 and older. If you have the ability to do so, please update as soon as possible for increased performance and better user interface. You can find software and instructions here https://ride.seakeeper.com/support/software-updates/

If you cannot update your software, please continue on for step-by-step instructions on Commissioning older Software.

The Advanced Mode, shown below, will remain available for users that have not updated their Seakeeper Ride system prior to September 1, 2023.

These settings all must be entered and completed in preparation for using Seakeeper Ride. The following information details each system status screen item, what they mean and how they affect the Seakeeper Ride system.

ATTENTION! Changing these critical settings can render the system nonfunctional and create an unsafe operating condition. Please proceed only if you have read and understand this manual in full.

Note: Please review the Electrical Installation Manual (Seakeeper Ride | Electrical Installation Manual) and BILT App QR code (below) for precise details on the Software Module location for best performance.

Note: The speed of the boat, GPS connection, and the system being in Auto or Manual mode will all influence how Seakeeper Ride behaves. Even if Seakeeper Ride is set up correctly, the Controllers may have limited range based on these factors. Refer to the table below for more information and see the Seakeeper Ride Operation Manual Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 for home screen controls.

If the Seakeeper Ride system has already been commissioned previously, then please follow the Section 4 – Service Menu Items steps to access the Service Menu Items.
