2.3.3 Installation of Seakeeper

1. Lower Seakeeper into position onto the hull foundation beams and align over drilled holes. Apply a small bead of marine sealant (e.g., SILI-THANE 803 or equivalent) between mating surfaces of Seakeeper frame and hull structure to prevent moisture wicking into bolt holes.
   
   1. For dissimilar metal foundations, locate and position four isolation gaskets onto foundation beams and apply a small bead of marine sealant (e.g., SILI-THANE 803 or equivalent) between both mating surfaces of each isolation gasket where it contacts the beam and the Seakeeper.
2. Install mounting fasteners:
   
   1. For Blind Hole installations, install the Seakeeper supplied Grade 10.9, Mxx-x X xx mm fasteners to maintain a minimum thread engagement of 0.xx in (xx.xx mm). Apply a moderate coat of nickel-based 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 marine grade sealant (e.g., SILI-THANE 803 or equivalent) under each bolt head and washer before installation.
   2. For Through-Bolt installations, install the Seakeeper supplied Grade 10.9, Mxx-xx X xx mm fasteners with a minimum of 2 threads passing through the nut. Apply a moderate coat of nickel-based anti-seize (e.g., SAF-T-EZE nickel grade anti-seize, SBT-4N, or equivalent) to the threads of each fastener and include a small bead of marine grade sealant (e.g., SILI-THANE 803 or equivalent) under each bolt head and washer before installation.

3. Torque all fasteners to XXX ft-lbs (xxx Nm).
   
   1. New bolts, matching the Seakeeper specification, must be used for each installation that meet the requirements listed above.
4. Proceed to electrical and cooling installation.
