Meet Seakeeper Ride, your newest obsession. The Seakeeper Ride System is the first and only Vessel Attitude Control System developed to drastically reduce the pitch and roll on your boat. Compatible with both fiberglass and inflatable outboard boats under 42', Seakeeper Ride's automatic list control keeps the deck level regardless of uneven or moving weight distribution. So you and your friends can cross over the deck for another cold one all day without affecting the boat's stability.
But it isn't just the passengers who benefit. Captains can sit back and navigate without the stress of a hindered sightline or harsh movement. Seakeeper Ride is fully automatic, so there is no fancy fingerwork to worry about—just you, the boat, and miles upon miles of water at your fingertips to explore.
How Does Seakeeper Ride Work?
Seakeeper Ride controllers are mounted to your boat's transom below the waterline. The system uses custom, proprietary inertial sensing hardware and software to understand how the boat behaves on all three axes and commands the deployment of the rotary blades to counteract pitch, roll, and yaw. When you deploy the blades, they create lift at the transom, managing the vessel's motion instantaneously and creating a smooth ride. Seakeeper Ride will automatically adjust the heeling angle of your boat during turns for a more comfortable feeling and better performance.
Why is Seakeeper Ride Better?
Wave motions can happen consistently or inconsistently; they can be big or small and come from any direction. Often, these motions occur in just milliseconds. Thanks to expert control software and hardware, Seakeeper Ride's proprietary, rapid-deployment rotary blades make 100 adjustments every second to combat wave motions.
Seakeeper Ride will automatically adjust the heeling angle of your boat during turns for a more comfortable feeling and better performance.
The Seakeeper Ride System provides faster acceleration to get your boat on plane quickly without losing sight of the horizon. This ensures that you can consistently nail your hole shot, which is essential for safety, performance, and fuel efficiency on your boat.
Is my Boat Seakeeper Ride Compatible?
Seakeeper Ride is designed to be compatible with a wide range of boats that meet the following basic requirements:
- Must have a fiberglass or aluminum hull
- Boats within the size range of 18 to 42 feet
- The boat should have a cruising speed of approx 20mph +/-
- It must be equipped with a compatible Multi-Function Display from Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, Navico, Lowrance, Furuno, Q Experience, or B&G. If your boat is not equipped with an Multi-Function Display, our team can easily install a cost effective 5" MFD to accommodate the install.
