@@live2boatThat’s awesome! Lot of those Al boat builders use Zipwake it seems - you think this is better? Heard it works together if you have a gyro too!
@@jayparrish3935 No doubt! I see the Zip Wakes all over. Could be that the RIDE system is finally making its way over here. We’ll be seeing them on boats here in the PAC NW soon, so we’ll get some feedback. So far the Florida guys like this system.
Very interesting!! Does the system works on 50 feet boat 70kn with surfacedrive?
Hey Rob, that is a cool system. How is it fastened to a fibreglass hull and is there any chance of fatigue where it attaches to a fibreglass hull?
I was skeptical at first but it worked great! It’s glued onto the hull so no need to pierce the hull to install it.
What's the affect on fuel economy?
Apparently it can be as high as 8-10%
@@live2boat8-10% more fuel used?
@@mmagscott 8-10 percent fuel savings
Hey Rob - think this would work on an aluminum hull?
For sure! They’ve got them on aluminum boats already 👍

Can it work on a 26’ Yamaha Jet with a different controller since it seems the Yamaha platform doesn’t love add-in technology to the harness.
If the gauge is a multi function display that supports NMEA 2000 I imagine it would work. Definitely a question for the Seakeeper folks though.
SeaKeeper also has a rubberized physical touch countroller for pretty cheap. It mirrors what you see on the screen for the most part
Man looks like those motors and gears would wear out quite quickly. Wonder the estimated life span of these.
@@Andrico77 I’m running them now and will find out 👍
Capt. Morgan hit his calling. 😂
👍🤣
I see 10 million dollar boats, but the only Seakeeper videos on TH-cam are all by the Seakeeper company. Anyone know of actual use by non demo boats?
Too many componentes. Corrosión.
