How Does the Seakeeper Ride System Work?
Similar to traditional trim tabs, the Seakeeper Ride port and starboard controllers are mounted onto your boat’s transom beneath the waterline. Using Seakeeper's custom, proprietary inertial sensing software, the system understands the motion of the boat across all three axis and deploys commands to the rotary blades to counteract pitch, roll and yaw. As the blades are deployed, they create lift at the transom, instantaneously managing the vessel’s motion.
Seakeeper Ride Benefits
PITCH AND ROLL ELIMINATION
Seakeeper Ride eliminates 70% of underway pitch and roll motions that often cause uncomfortable pounding and slamming. The elimination of these motions contributes to increased safety and provides comfort, control and confidence to all on board.
LIST/LEVEL
Seakeeper ride never allows vessel list from movement on board due to wind, uneven load underway and/or prop torque.
AUTO TRIM
Seakeeper Ride uses a customized Trim Command Curve to automatically adjust the boat to match the optimal running angle at any given speed.
HOLE SHOT CONTROL
Seakeeper Ride is optimized to allow for faster acceleration that gets the boat on plane more quickly which improves fuel economy during the transition to planning. The operator never loses sight of the horizon, increasing safety for all on board.
