Re: SeaKeeper Stabilizer worth it on an older boat?
We had a naval architect come on board to do a prelim structural assessment ahead of some significant upgrades (repower, refit) and he was particularly focused on the effect of the Seakeepers. He could not detect any issues related to the mounting or operation of the Seakeepers.

Where did you mount the Seakeeper in your 58'?

Re: SeaKeeper Stabilizer worth it on an older boat?
The PO had them mounted on the main stringers directly underneath the master berth, just forward of the rudder table. They installed a piano hinge across the top of the bed frame so it tilts up to access the 2 Seakeepers. I installed some gas lift struts under the bed so it’s much easier to access the space. I rarely need to open it for any other reason than most people that come on board want to see it.
