  1. For dissimilar metal foundations, locate and position four isolation gaskets (P\/N 14306) (Fig. 15) onto foundation beams and apply a small bead of marine sealant (SILI-THANE 803 or equivalent) between both mating surfaces of each isolation gasket where it contacts the beam and the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Lower Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> into position onto foundation beams and align over drilled holes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    1. For Blind-Hole installations<\/strong> (P\/N 90911 – Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> 7.5 Blind-Hole Installation Kit), install the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> supplied M16-2.0 fasteners to maintain a minimum thread engagement of 0.95 in. (24 mm).<\/strong> Apply a moderate coat of nickel-based anti-seize (e.g., SAF-T-EZE nickel grade anti-seize, SBT-4N or equivalent)<\/mark> to the threads<\/mark> 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. See Figure 14.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. For Through-Bolt installations<\/strong> (P\/N 90912 – Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> 7.5 Through-Bolt Installation Kit), install the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> supplied M16-2.0 fasteners 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 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. See Figure 15.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Torque all fasteners to <\/strong><\/mark>155<\/strong> ft-lbs (<\/strong><\/mark>210<\/strong> N-m).<\/strong><\/mark>
