5.1 Maintenance Introduction

Seakeeper recommends a regular inspection interval and scheduled maintenance to keep the Seakeeper 5 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 and rinse will help limit corrosion and keep the Seakeeper assembly in good cosmetic condition. Refer to the Seakeeper Care article for details.

If any components of the Seakeeper or its subsystems will be exposed to environmental temperatures that require winterization for storage, refer to the Seakeeper Winterization article.

The Seakeeper comes standard with sealant and thread locker on applicable fasteners. When reinstalling all fasteners, use thread locker (Loctite 243 or equivalent) and sealant unless otherwise specified.
