Refer to Seakeeper<\/span> Drawing No. 90544 \u2013 Seakeeper<\/span> 16\/18 Bolt-In Installation Details. Important dimensional and load information is given in this drawing that will impact the design details of the structure that will receive the Seakeeper<\/span>. It is assumed that a proper structural analysis has been performed for the hull structure to which the Seakeeper<\/span> will be fastened to ensure proper strength margins for the loads the Seakeeper<\/span> will create during operation. Seakeeper<\/span> recommends a safety factor of 3.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hull structure supporting the Seakeeper<\/span> should be arranged so the Seakeeper<\/span> is parallel to the water plane in the port-starboard and forward-aft directions . In addition, the four areas on top of the beams on which the feet of the isolation mounts will rest, need to be co-planar within .06 in. (1.5 mm) to minimize potential distortion of Seakeeper<\/span> support frame when installed.<\/span> The isolation gaskets are only used on dissimilar metal to metal contact.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seakeeper<\/span> provides an installation fixture assembly (P\/N 90282), which contains four plates that mimic the mating surfaces of the four isolation mounts located on the Seakeeper<\/span>\u2019s foundation. These plates have 4 holes located at the same centers as the mounting holes on the Seakeeper<\/span>. The fixture locates the hole patterns at the proper spacing, both in the fore-aft direction and the port-starboard direction. See Figure 5 below. Once assembled, the fixture can be used to check clearances and alignment of the hull structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: Do NOT use the installation fixture to establish Seakeeper<\/span> envelope dimensions. Refer to Drawing No. 90544 \u2013 Seakeeper<\/span> 16\/18 Bolt-In Installation Details, for envelope dimensions. A 3-D model of the Seakeeper<\/span> is available on the Seakeeper<\/span> website (www.seakeeper.com<\/a>) to aid in designing the Seakeeper<\/span> foundation and the space around the Seakeeper<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE: MAKE SURE NO OBSTRUCTIONS FROM THE HULL STRUCTURE CAN BE SEEN WITHIN THE INSIDE OF THE INSTALLATION TEMPLATE KIT (INSIDE THE MARKED RED LINES). REFERENCE SEAKEEPER DRAWING NO. 90544 \u2013 SEAKEEPER 16\/18 BOLT-IN INSTALLATION DETAILS.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
