As soon as Jim McLaren, general manager of Orange Coast Yachts in Newport Beach, California, came across the Seakeeper Gyro Stabilization System at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show last year, he knew he had to have it. As a result, McLaren made sure the very first 52 Ovation he ordered from Silverton Marine of Millville, New Jersey for his dealership had the state-of-the-art gyro installed. Designed for craft up to 60′ in length and/or 60,000 lbs. displacement, the Seakeeper Model 7000 Gyro weighs significantly less and has much lower power consumption than comparative products. Larger craft are fitted with multiple units. The compact gyro can be installed as a boat is being built or retrofitted into an existing vessel. www.seakeeper.com
