Seakeeper 7.5

Vacuum-encapsulated gyroscopic anti-roll stabilizer for boats of approx. 45' - 54', with 7,500 N-m-s angular momentum at max rated speed.

Description

The Seakeeper 7.5 is a gyroscopic stabilizer that counteracts boat roll at rest and underway. This next-generation gyro for boats of 45-54 feet reaches stabilization in as little as 10 minutes.

Inside a vacuum encapsulation the flywheel spins at up to 9,700 RPM. When the boat rolls, the gyro tilts fore and aft (precesses), producing gyroscopic torque to port and starboard that counteracts the roll.
