Selection of mounting location of the Seakeeper<\/span> should consider the following desirable features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span> should be installed aft of amidships to minimize high acceleration loadings due to hull\/wave impacts during operation at high speed or in large waves. If the only possible Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span> location is forward of amidships, then the installer should have Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span> review the installation location prior to finalizing the design.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

  1. Top-down access or sufficient clearance for access and removal of the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 1 cover is required.<\/strong> See Drawing No. 90516 \u2013 Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 1 Bolt-In Installation Details and Drawing No. 90514 \u2013 Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 1 Bolt-In Clearances for reference.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Provide adequate clearance for all recommended scheduled maintenance and any repairs that may be necessary, as shown in Figure 3 and Drawing No. 90516 \u2013 Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 1 Bolt-In Installation Details.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Access for the removal and re-installation of the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 1 should be considered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> should be installed in a dry space to minimize effects of corrosion. Use the deck cover enclosure if installed and exposed to weather (P\/N 90628).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    Note<\/strong>: Adequate access to remove the Seakeeper<\/span> 1 cover must be incorporated into the installation design to allow for regular maintenance, service, and repair of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Noise and Soundproofing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Seakeeper<\/span> noise has been measured under steady-state conditions (no wave load) in Seakeeper<\/span> \u2018s Engineering Lab and in our Factory Demo Boat. The steady-state noise at 1meter is typically less than 64 dBC. As the frequencies emitting the highest sound pressuresare low (like other marine machinery), it is recommended that the Seakeeper<\/span> be installed inan enclosed space such as a leaning post\/seat, bilge, center console, or machinery space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
