This new gyro helps stabilize boats despite the biggest of waves via Seakeeper Inc. | Interesting Engineering

⁉️ A single gyro stabilizer for a twin hull boat? 💧 This is a preview of our testing of the @dometic DG-3 gyro aboard a 36-foot cat owned by Capt. Robert Trosset of @Finzdivecenter.and with Capt. Chris Trosset of @reel_fly_charters aboard a monohull center console. 💧 The single Dometic gyro in the cat is unique in that other stabilizer sustems require two gyroscopes for twin hull boats. 💧 The Dometic DG3 system is comprehensive and incorporates batteries, charging and custom control software.

Here's a beneath-the-hatch look at (some of) what a gyro stabilizer does to counteract heavy seas. This Seakeeper 40, seen on a 76' @vikingyachtcompany sportfisherman, spins up to 9,750 rpm to do its job. While the green-prone crowd can't sing gyro-stabilization technology enough praise, others call it overkill. Who's putting one on their boat this season?

Seakeeper was at the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout with their demo boat. Randy Vance, editor at large, jumped aboard for a Rock the Boat test of the gyro stabilizer. Check the video on how quickly the boat stabilized when Seakeeper is activated. | Boating Magazine
