The single cylinder hydraulic brake systems on the Seakeeper 1, 4, 4.5, 10, and 14 require minimal service with only an inspection every 12 months, and a bushing replacement every 2000 hours.
Seakeepers are designed for use in a marine environment and to withstand occasional water spray or splash. Prolonged exposure to seawater, however, can cause premature wear and damage to the unit; therefore, it is important to apply a gentle fresh water rinse following exposure to seawater.

The service intervals are based on ‘average’ use, including operating in various Sea conditions, such as zero or low-speed usage in/ around marinas and anchorages vs. different speeds while underway in light or heavy sea conditions. If the customer’s normal operating conditions include extended SEA operation, more frequent service should be considered.
