Seakeeper 10

Vacuum-encapsulated gyroscopic anti-roll stabilizer for boats of approx. 50' - 60', with 10,000 N-M-S angular momentum at max rated speed.

Description

The Seakeeper 10 is a gyroscopic stabilizer that counteracts boat roll at rest and underway. It offers 50% more gyroscopic power per cubic inch than the Seakeeper 9, with an asymmetric flywheel housing the motor, a frame that can be disassembled for installation, zinc-nickel plated components and a single-cylinder brake.

Inside a vacuum encapsulation the flywheel spins at up to 8,250 RPM. When the boat rolls, the gyro tilts fore and aft (precesses), producing gyroscopic torque to port and starboard that counteracts the roll.

Key features

  • Ideal for boats of approx. 50' - 60'
  • Angular momentum at max rated speed: 10,000 N-M-S
  • Spool-up time to stabilization: 24 minutes (6,188 RPM)

  • Weight: 1288 lb (584 kg); envelope 30.95 L x 34.88 W x 23.78 H (inches)
  • Patented glycol/seawater cooling system and active control that adapts to sea state
  • Installed internally, with no outside appendages

Applications

  • New-build and refit installations on recreational, sportfishing and yacht hulls
