In this episode of Tech Talk, Sportsman Technical Sales Rep, Jim, is comparing fuel economy and performance numbers with the Seakeeper Ride system on and off. This has been a common question since the launch of this product and Jim is here to show us real world numbers. He's using these comparisons to answer all of the questions and concerns that the Ride system will cause too much drag and decrease performance.
For more in-depth settings and operation check out our upcoming Seakeeper Ride episodes.

I've just ordered a Makaira Gen 3 750. I am having these installed on it. Can't wait to try them out. The boat will be ready either September or October this year. I believe it will be the first Makaira to have the system.

Great video with relevant content. It looks like the system is a win-win. You guys hands down have the best media content of any manufacturer.

During cruise you had the motor trimmed all the way down. I would like to see the comparison at the motor trimmed at cruise and see if it’s a comparable eco. I do believe these are going to be a item that changes boating for the future.

Y’all ever installed on a catamaran, I have a 25’ dargel kat, Final stages of the build Darrel said it should be ready the end of September

@SportsmanBoatsOffical Жыл бұрын

Rick, we do not build any catamarans and to our knowledge Seakeeper has never installed this on a cat either. You'd be best to reach out to them with questions regarding this issue. Congrats on the new boat as well! Best of luck.

Yes, you need rougher conditions to do this test, that’s what it was made for. And can you use it to stable the boat at anchor or drift? Do over….

@SportsmanBoatsOffical 2 жыл бұрын

This system is designed to help stable the boat underway in rough chop. This test was in 1 foot chop about every two seconds with roughly 12mph winds. It can handle rougher water for sure and we’ve seen the same comparisons if not better performace from the Ride system while in rougher conditions.

Very impressive! Can they be bottom painted or is it not recommended?

It can be bottom painted.

I know as of now they can't be added... But does seakeeper have a plan for it? Or did the hull change to accept these

@SportsmanBoatsOffical Жыл бұрын

Most hulls will need modifications to accept Ride.

When you are using the seat keeper ride, do you still trim your engine?

@SportsmanBoatsOffical 2 ай бұрын

Yes of course, you'll run your boat just the same as you have before. Seakeeper Ride is geared toward helping stabilize your boat underway.

@ccdevil773 Жыл бұрын

im wondering, which one more effective between seakeeper ride VS something like Mercury Active Trim

@KMT15 Жыл бұрын

Mercury active trim isn’t nearly as fast to react

Does this need to be installed professionally? If so is there anywhere in Michigan that it can be installed? Going on a 2023 Yamaha 275 sdx

It is recommended to have a certified dealer handle this. You can reach out to Seakeeper Ride to find a dealer in your area.

I didn’t see any fuel economy improvements

@SportsmanBoatsOffical 11 ай бұрын

You should see slightly better if you’re coming on and off plane often, tournament style fishing, as it helps get up on plane faster. Additionally, in rougher water it’s going to help the boat run better and stay on top of the water which will help fuel as well. In flat water and great running conditions you may not see as much of a difference.

When will the Seakeeper Ride be available on your boats?

@SportsmanBoatsOffical Жыл бұрын

It's available now.

@Alex718GTS4.0 6 ай бұрын

@@SportsmanBoatsOffical Is it available on the 282 or 302?

@23101979T 9 ай бұрын

It doesn’t seem like the test is that objective, or relevant. How about going to a wavy conditions, where the system will actually work and be active, for a significant amount of time?! And not these, almost calm waters..
