<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nATTENTION:<\/strong> Mounting the Controllers towards the centerline of the boat reduces the leverage the system has on the boat and severely reduces roll performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n Based on the considerations of engine spacing and transom appendages, some installations will require the Controllers to extend outboard of the inboard edge of the chine. An overlap of the outboard chine of 1.5 in. (38 mm) is acceptable. For overlaps greater than 1.5 in. (38 mm), performance may degrade rapidly. The figure below illustrates placement of the outboard edge of the Controller with the following color code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Green (Outboard of chine up to 1.5 in. (38 mm)) – Ideal<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yellow (Inboard of chine up to 1.5 in. (38 mm)) – Good<\/p>\n\n\n\n Orange (More than 1.5 in. (38 mm) from chine) – Acceptable*<\/p>\n\n\n\n Red (Overhanging Hull Side) – Unacceptable<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Controllers must NOT<\/strong> be mounted far enough inboard to reduce leverage, as outlined above.<\/p>\n\n\n It is possible to have an installation where the Controller is mounted too far outboard causing water flowing around the hull side to interfere with the Controller and substantially reduce performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To avoid this issue, the Controller should be mounted at least 1.5 in. (38 mm) inboard of the hull side, as shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n NOTE:<\/strong> Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span> has performed successful testing with Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span> Ride overlapping propellers significantly further than indicated below; however, because of the infinite variables (engine height, engine trim, engine longitudinal offset from Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span> Ride Controllers, propeller selection, propeller rotation, sea conditions, loading conditions, vessel characteristics, and more) which impact the interaction between Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span> Ride and propulsors, Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span> cannot provide more specialized guidance or blanket recommendation to install with more propeller overlap than indicated below. If the Builder, Owners, or Operators choose to install the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span> Ride Controllers with more propeller overlap than indicated in the figure below, it may result in rpm\/coolant fluctuation and\/or engine faults. Please see the Operation Manual<\/a> for additional detail on Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span> Ride’s potential impacts to propulsors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Because the Controllers have the potential to change water flow into the boat\u2019s propellers, the Controllers should be mounted as far from the propellers as possible. It is recommended that the inner edge of the Controller be mounted outboard of the diameter of the propeller tip (see the figure below). The line defining this instruction is the tangent line to the diameter of the propeller tip on the outboard side, perpendicular to the deadrise. Label 4 indicates the diameter of the propeller tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note:<\/strong> Any obstructions preventing the installation of the Controllers or beyond the dimensions specified must be removed before continuing with the installation of Seakeeper<\/span> Ride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are several hull features that should be considered when determining the location of the Controllers in a beam-wise orientation. As a general rule, the Controllers must be mounted as far outboard as possible, up to the chines (if the hull has chines). ATTENTION: Mounting the Controllers towards the centerline of the boat reduces the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":10856,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"manual":[264],"model":[],"document_type":[],"hidden":[],"class_list":["post-10881","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","manual-seakeeper-ride-mechanical-installation-manual"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/ride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/ride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/ride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/ride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/ride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10881"}],"version-history":[{"count":36,"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/ride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10881\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16590,"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/ride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10881\/revisions\/16590"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/ride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10856"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/ride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manual","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/ride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual?post=10881"},{"taxonomy":"model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/ride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/model?post=10881"},{"taxonomy":"document_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/ride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document_type?post=10881"},{"taxonomy":"hidden","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/ride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hidden?post=10881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/manuals.seakeeper.com\/ride\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ride-Position-Torque-No-Wrench.png\")
