- What are the Pocket Fit Kits made from?
- Seakeeper has selected PETG based on its ability to work with our approved two-part Methyl Methacrylate Adhesives (MMAs) https://manuals.seakeeper.com/ride/seakeeper-ride-mechanical-installation-manual/3-additional-equipment-needed/. We have tested it for water absorption and strength in fatigue.
- Can I paint (or gel coat) the Fit Kits?
- Yes! We encourage owners to coat the material. Gel coat adheres well to the material with little surface prep.
- Do I need to surface prep the parts?
- Yes, a denatured alcohol wipe is all you need to remove dirt and oil and then the adhesives do the rest of the work.
- Do I need to fiberglass over top of the parts?
- No! The parts are designed to support the loads all by themselves, however you are welcome to add fiberglass if you choose.
- Are the parts hollow?
- No, the Fit Kits are printed solid with a rib and shell structure that handle the loads, which is not typical to 3D printed world.
- Can anyone print the parts?
- No, Seakeeper has worked with a number of vendors to find ones who can handle our specific printing style and quality standards.
- What colors are available?
- Right now we only support white and black.
- How do I order?
- Contact your aftermarket sales representative to verify if a make/model/year of boat is available. From there they can discuss pricing and lead time.
