Oh boy. Pulled the trigger and ordered a Quick Gyro 30. I will be installing this winter. I will post the process

Quick Gyro 30

I am installing with a custom plate design
top plate 1" aluminum 5068 aluminum with 3/4 plates underneath and on the sides.
Installed with plexus adhesive
bolts under wood in the stringer every 4" on center. with sleeves not to crush the glass.

Unit bolts to the plate , 220 volt 6kw draw max

Reasons for the choice Quick vs Seakeeper.
Seakeeper is too big 4'x4' and hull structure would need to be created, Gensets moved, Installation by Seakeeper only.
Quick . 32x32 x34 tall No structure modifications nor equipment movement needed. I can do the installation with a metal plate glued an bolted into place. No water cooling, No yearly "Seakeeper " maintenance. Owner serviceable. It does not need to run when moving the boat , unlike Seakeeper. Big cost savings buy direct, and Self installable if you are approved by the company. I have gotten my approval since i have installed a Seakeeper before. Quick techs come to the boat for commissioning which is included in the unit price.

Really interested in how this goes.

In process of complete refurbishment of 52 foot steel trawler cruiser and considering installing Gyro.
 
I had a sea keeper in the past. Worked great but today they need to be installed by dealers only. Quick will sell to the end user and you can install your self or hir your own installer. Saving $$
 
Interesting, please document the installation process with a lot of photos.

Can you elaborate on this? I understand that Seakeeper has a lock , but have no hands-on experience.

I saw the installation of a Quick unit recently. The metal plate structure looked massive.

I'm unfamiliar with your boat, but did you consider beefing up the existing stringers? 22,000 ft-lbs is to my mind a staggering amount of torque. Closest that comes to mind is a big diesel at a fraction of that, and then the supporting structure is part of the original design.

Looking forward to following.
 
I sent the drawings of what I am doing to the Manufacture and they gave it there blessing. The plate is glued in place witch reinforces the stringers.
