  1. Lower Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 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<\/span><\/span> frame and hull structure to prevent moisture wicking into bolt holes.

    1. For dissimilar metal foundations locate and position 4 isolation gaskets onto foundation beams and apply a small bead of marine sealant (e.g., SILI-THANE 803or equivalent) between both mating surfaces of each isolation gasket where it contacts the beam and the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> (See Figure 7).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

      1. Install mounting bolts:

          \n
        1. For Blind Hole Installations, install the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> supplied Grade 10.9, M14-2.0 x90 mm fasteners or alternative Grade 10.9, M14-2.0 bolts to maintain a minimum thread engagement of 0.83 in (21 mm). If Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> supplied bolts do not achieve the minimum thread engagement because of the lamination thickness or structure, longer bolts of the same specification (M14-2.0, Grade10.9) should be sourced. If tapping directly into a metal frame shorter bolts maybe required. 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 marine grade sealant (e.g., SILI-THANE 803 or equivalent) under each bolt head and washer before installation.<\/strong> See Figure 8 below.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. For Through-Bolt installation install the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> optional Thru-Bolt Kit (P\/N 90636) Grade 10.9, M14-2.0 x 100 mm fasteners with a minimum of 2 threads passing through the nut If Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> supplied bolts do not pass entirely through the Extra Wide \/ Heavy Hex Nut because of the frame thickness, longer bolts of the same specification (M14-2.0, Grade 10.9) should be sourced. Apply a moderate coat of marine anti-seize (e.g., SAF-T-EZE nickel grade anti-seize, SBT-4Nor 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.<\/strong> See Figure 9 below.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
