Before beginning the installation, check that there is adequate space in the ideal location determined above. Some hulls may not have physical space for the installation of Seakeeper<\/span> Ride. There may be some installations where brackets, lights, live well pickups, hull features, or similar components must be cleared or relocated to proceed with the installation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> is not responsible for hull modifications performed when attempting to install Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> Ride. It is the responsibility of the installer to determine reasonable modifications to prepare room for the Controllers without making undesirable changes to the boat. If unsure of installation details, contact a licensed marine engineer or naval architect before making significant boat modifications. Contact Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> if additional help is needed. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The width of the Controller mounting footprint will vary depending on Controller size. See the figure and table below for dimensions to determine if there is adequate space on the boat\u2019s transom. The clearance between the bottom of the hull and any surface above where the Controller will be placed is recommended to be at least 5 in. (127 mm). The exact height is dependent on the transom angle and resulting Wedge Pack build of the Controller. The Controller will extend aft of the hull by 8 in. (203 mm). <\/p>\n\n\n
