Installation of Seakeeper

The four areas where the feet of the Seakeeper will rest should be co-planar to within .06 in.
Rig the Seakeeper for lifting and lower it into position onto top surface of four saddles.
Apply a small bead (approximately 4 mm wide) of sealant or caulk to the mating surfaces between the saddles and the Seakeeper foundation. Adjust position of the Seakeeper until alignment is achieved for the 16 fasteners that will attach Seakeeper foundation frame to saddles.
Install Seakeeper supplied M14 fasteners – 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).
