Seakeeper Equipment

Seakeeper 1

Vacuum-encapsulated gyroscopic anti-roll stabilizer for boats of approx. 23' - 30', with 1,000 N-M-S angular momentum at max rated speed.

Description

The Seakeeper 1 is a gyroscopic stabilizer that counteracts boat roll at rest and underway. It is a flush-mount design for boats as small as 23 feet and runs exclusively on 12V DC power. An optional Deck Mount Enclosure allows installation in non-enclosed spaces such as open-framed leaning posts.

Inside a vacuum encapsulation the flywheel spins at up to 9,750 RPM. When the boat rolls, the gyro tilts fore and aft (precesses), producing gyroscopic torque to port and starboard that counteracts the roll.
