Installation of Seakeeper

Locate and position 4 isolation gaskets onto foundation beams (for metal to metal contacts only).
NOTE: Sealant or caulk is recommended to be applied. Apply a small bead (approximately 4 mm wide) of sealant (silicone or caulk) between both mating surfaces of each isolation gasket where it contacts the beam and the Seakeeper. This will prevent water from wicking between the parts and setting up corrosion. Check isolation gasket alignment by test fitting bolts without any obstructions.
Lower Seakeeper into position onto the hull foundation beams and align over drilled holes.
Install Seakeeper-supplied M14 fasteners as shown in figure below – apply a moderate coat of marine anti-seize (e.g. SAF-T-EZE Nickel Grade Anti-Seize, SBT-4N or equivalent) to the threads of each bolt and include a small bead of sealant under each bolt head before installation.
Torque all fasteners to 100 ft-lbs (136 N-m).
Proceed to electrical and cooling portion of the installation.
