Product Overview
Ride 525A - Full Kit without Keypad
While Catamarans offer some advantages, these boats are still susceptible to wave action and their unique hull designs can present several trade-offs such as flatter turns, increased yaw or bow steering, and porpoising motions at high speeds.
Optimized for Catamarans
Seakeeper Ride utilizes proprietary variable gain algorithms to optimize its performance on boats of all types and in all sea conditions without special tuning or calibration by the operator. Specific to catamarans, custom software takes catamarans’ unique performance characteristics into account, providing enhanced underway stabilization and enabling catamarans to naturally bank into turns much more like traditional monohull vessels.
Catamaran Installation
For installation on symmetrical and semi-symmetrical hulls, Seakeeper Ride controllers can be mounted on both inboard and outboard sections of each demihull. On asymmetrical hulls, Seakeeper Ride’s controller will be mounted on the outboard section only where there is available space.
Rapid Actuation
Rotary blades deploy at a rate of up to 300 mm per second, making 100 adjustments every second, enabled by a power-dense rotary design that requires just 7-10 Amps for operation.
Full Underway Control
Controls all motions (pitch, roll, and yaw) thanks to deployment speed and proprietary control software and hardware.
Intuitive
Predicts motion and responds instantaneously to eliminate them before they’re felt, with no buttons to push or adjustments to make, providing a boating experience you never imagined.
Reliable
The drivetrain is completely sealed in a dry and greased environment with no mechanical exposure to saltwater.
Simple Installation
Easily installed on most transoms, both in new and aftermarket boats.
Software Module
The "brain" of the system includes Seakeeper’s proprietary software and motion sensors.
Distribution Module
Provides power and communication between the controllers and the software module.
User Interface
The user interface is compatible with select Garmin, Simrad, and Raymarine MFDs. MFDs are not included in Seakeeper Ride equipment.
Eliminate up to 70% of Pitch and Roll Underway
Nothing compares to the first-of-its-kind Vessel Attitude Control System, Seakeeper Ride, which can eliminate up to 70% of pitch and roll underway. Our proprietary, rapid-deployment rotary blades make 100 adjustments every second to combat wave motions, providing unmatched performance.
