Does the seakeeper really work?
Seakeeper eliminates that boat roll, which is one of three rotational motions, among pitch and yaw. A moving boat is inherently more stable than a boat at rest. So naturally, Seakeeper has less work to do on a boat in motion, than one at rest, given all other factors remain the same.
How much does the seakeeper cost?
The company produces many models. You’ll spend at least $14,000 for a Seakeeper for smaller boats and up to nearly $250,000 for vessels measuring 85 feet or longer. Whether you already have a boat or are in the market for one, you can use a Seakeeper on it.
How much does a seakeeper 1 weigh?
365 lbs
Take a Look Under the Hood
| Weight | 365 lbs (165 kg) |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | 22.9 x 23.6 x 15.7 (inches) |

Are Seakeepers noisy?
The Seakeeper 1, Seakeeper 2 and Seakeeper 3 (our DC-powered models) operate under 72 dB (decibels), and often below 68 dB.
Can you troll with seakeeper?
The computer controlled gyroscope eliminates most boat roll making boating exceptionally more pleasant. Whether trolling, cruising, or on anchor, Seakeeper stabilizes the rolling motion that is typically generated by waves, wakes, and chop.
Where is seakeeper made?
Mohnton, Pennsylvania
Behind the Scenes at Seakeeper Seakeeper’s sourcing manager, John Ambs, takes the Marlin editors on a guided tour of the plant’s manufacturing and construction facilities in Mohnton, Pennsylvania, and points out the key factors that go into each Seakeeper gyro.
How much does a seakeeper 2 weight?

How much does a seakeeper 2 cost?
The current cost of the Seakeeper 2 is $22,700 and installation is extra. The complexity of the installation will determine its cost, but even the relatively simple leaning post solution will take roughly 18-man hours to accomplish, so be advised.
How does a SeaKeeper work on a boat?
Contained in a leaning post or belowdecks, the Seakeeper can radically reduce rocking and rolling in boats of many different types and sizes. The way a Seakeeper accomplishes its mission all boils down to torque, applied to counteract the motion of the boat.
How does vacuum encapsulation work on a SeaKeeper?
Our patented cooling system allows the flywheel to spin at an extremely high rate of speed, providing ultimate performance in the smallest and lightest package possible. Seakeeper’s vacuum encapsulation enables the flywheel to spin roughly three times faster, cuts flywheel weight by two-thirds and halves power requirements.
How does a SeaKeeper flywheel work in a vacuum?
Seakeeper’s vacuum encapsulation enables the flywheel to spin roughly three times faster, cuts flywheel weight by two-thirds and halves power requirements. Moreover, because the critical components (flywheel, bearings, and motor) are sealed for life in a vacuum, they are forever isolated from the marine environment.
Is the SeaKeeper gyro active or passive?
Seakepeeper’s active control optimizes gyro torque, providing an unsurpassed level of performance. Unlike a passively controlled gyro, which must be turned off in the roughest conditions and/or at higher speeds, the Seakeeper is effective at all speeds and can be used in all sea conditions.
