No need for complicated jargon – just practical insights to help you understand what to expect and make your upgrade experience smoother.

Step 1: Assessment and Planning

Before the installation kicks off, our expert team at Starboard Yacht Group will assess your boat to determine the best placement for the Seakeeper unit ensuring that it seamlessly integrates with your boat’s dynamics for the best performance. This involves considering the vessel’s size, weight distribution, and other factors to ensure optimal performance. By tailoring the installation to the unique characteristics of your boat, we set the foundation for a smoother, more stable experience.

Step 2: Mounting the Unit

Once the ideal location is identified, the Seakeeper unit is mounted securely to your boat’s structure. This step involves securing the stabilizer in a way that maximizes its effectiveness without compromising the aesthetics or functionality of your vessel. Our dedication to detail ensures that the mounting is seamless and enhances the overall performance of the stabilizer.

Step 3: Power and Calibration

Following the secure mounting of the Seakeeper unit, the next critical steps involve connecting the stabilizer to your boat’s power source. This essential link ensures that the stabilizer works seamlessly to counteract boat roll.

Once powered up, our expert team moves on to the calibration process. This step is where we fine-tune the Seakeeper system to align perfectly with your boat’s unique characteristics. By customizing the stabilizer’s settings, we ensure that it responds precisely to your vessel’s movements, delivering an effective counterbalance to boat roll.

Step 4: Testing

With all components securely in place and the Seakeeper unit calibrated, it’s time for the ultimate test – a trial run on the water. Our dedicated installation team takes your boat out for a spin, meticulously evaluating the stabilizer’s performance to ensure it functions precisely as intended.

This crucial step serves as the ultimate test for the entire installation process. While on the water, the team assesses the Seakeeper’s response to various conditions, making any necessary final adjustments on the spot. This hands-on testing phase allows us to fine-tune the stabilizer for optimal performance, ensuring that it seamlessly counters boat roll and enhances overall stability.

Step 5: Training

Once the installation is complete, you’ll receive training on how to operate and maintain your Seakeeper. Understanding how to use and care for the system ensures that you get the most out of your investment. This training is essential for ensuring that you not only understand the ins and outs of the system but also know how to care for it properly.
