  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 the 4 isolation gaskets (P\/N 10860) 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 Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n

      1. For Blind-Hole installations<\/strong> (P\/N 90870 – Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> 14 Blind-Hole Installation Kit), install the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> supplied Grade 10.9, M16-2.0 x 95 mm fasteners or alternative Grade 10.9, M16-2.0 bolts to maintain a minimum thread engagement of 0.94 in. (24 mm).<\/strong> Apply a moderate coat of nickel-based anti-seize (e.g., SAF-T-EZE nickel-based 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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. For Through-Bolt Installations<\/strong> (P\/N 90871 – Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> 14 Through-Bolt Installation Kit), install the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> supplied Grade 10.9, M16-2.0 x 120 mm fasteners or alternative Grade 10.9, M16-2.0 bolts to maintain a minimum of 2 threads protruding past nut.<\/strong> Apply a moderate coat of nickel-based anti-seize (e.g., SAF-T-EZE nickel-based 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.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
