5.1 Maintenance Introduction

Due to remote start capabilities of MFDs, ENSURE flywheel at zero RPM at display/MFD app and power removed from Seakeeper before removing covers.


Hydraulic Hand Pump Kit is required for servicing the brake. Pressure should NOT be relieved unless this tool is available.


The Seakeeper system is designed to require as little maintenance as possible. However, some periodic inspections and maintenance are required since the system comprises mechanical and electrical components that operate in a marine environment. Seakeeper recommends a regular inspection interval and Scheduled Maintenance to keep the Seakeeper running trouble-free.

If the Seakeeper is installed in a wet space, efforts should be made to keep the Seakeeper free of salt residue from either condensation or direct exposure to salt spray. If exposed, a regular wipe down with mild soap and water with a rinse will help limit corrosion and keep the Seakeeper assembly in good cosmetic condition. Refer to How to Care for Your Seakeeper article for details.

If any Seakeeper or its sub-systems components will be exposed to environmental temperatures where winterization is necessary for storage, reference How Do I Winterize My Seakeeper article for details.

The Seakeeper comes standard with sealant and thread locker on applicable fasteners. When reinstalling all fasteners, use thread locker and sealant unless otherwise specified.
