5.2 Scheduled Maintenance Table

This page contains the scheduled maintenance table organized by systems: Mechanical, Hydraulic, Cooling, and Electrical. Perform the Recommended Maintenance after the indicated number of Running [RUN] hours or Years since the last maintenance, whichever occurs first. Scheduled maintenance is not covered under warranty.

Seakeepers are designed for use in a marine environment and to withstand occasional water spray or splash. Prolonged exposure to seawater, however, can cause premature wear and damage to the unit; therefore, it is important to apply a gentle fresh water rinse following exposure to seawater.

The service intervals are based on ‘average’ use, including operating in various Sea conditions, such as zero or low-speed usage in/around marinas and anchorages vs. different speeds while underway in light of heavy sea conditions. If the customer’s normal operating conditions include extended SEA operation, more frequent service should be considered, especially Hydraulic Brake and Cooling service.

  • Certain maintenance should be performed by a Seakeeper trained factory technician or trained technician within the Seakeeper Dealer network. Find a local Dealer on our website at www.seakeeper.com/find-us/.
  • A Seakeeper technician or Dealer is required to perform a brake service and to replace brake bushings or other brake components. This requires a complete flush, bleed, purge and pressurization of the closed hydraulic system.
  • Scheduled Maintenance and the replacement of ‘wear’ items are not covered by the www.seakeeper.com/extended-warranty/recreation-warranty/.
