Measure Transom Angle Introduction

Seakeeper Ride Controllers must be mounted as close to flush with the running surface of the hull as possible, as explained in Section 5. This portion of the installation is to measure the angle at the chosen locations. The Wedge Pack Assembly (Items 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 in Figure 5) allows for the adjustment of the Controllers to the boat’s transom angle. The figure below illustrates the differences in the angle between the aft end of the running surface and the transom (A) and the resulting effects on Wedge Pack selection (B). The top two images show correct angle adjustments. The bottom two images show incorrect angle adjustments.

For optimal performance, the Seal Plate must be completely flush with the aft end of the running surface of the boat and up 1/8″. The Seal Plate angle must be between parallel to the hull bottom and upward 2 degrees. DO NOT mount the Controller angled downward at all.
