Stabilizer questions
How does Seakeeper Ride differ from a gyro?
Ride uses transom-mounted controllers to reduce pitch and roll underway; it does not provide stabilization at rest. Seakeeper gyro stabilizers reduce roll at rest and underway. Kitfix provides sales, installation and after-sales support for both Seakeeper gyro stabilizers and Seakeeper Ride.
Can I ask about both gyro and fin stabilizers?
Kitfix supplies and services gyro stabilizers, fin stabilizers and hydraulic systems. Share the unit model, berth and work required so the team can define the scope.
Can I ask about a new stabilizer installation?
Yes. Kitfix handles stabilizer installation. Share the vessel model, installation drawings and system under consideration so the team can assess the layout and equipment requirements.
What should I do when a system shows an alarm?
Follow the vessel and equipment manuals and applicable safety instructions. Send Kitfix the exact alarm code or message so the team can provide initial assistance and advise on the next steps.
