7 - Installation procedures
The installation instructions include all the procedures that are necessary to assemble and fix the stabilizer.
Quick
®
provides all the mechanical and electrical components for the correct operation of the appliance.
7.2 - Warnings
Prevent dust or any type of fragment from accidentally getting inside the gyroscope. Keep the equipment
protected and clean and clean the base very thoroughly before installing it, especially after the preparation
and drilling phases.
• The stabilizer must be installed parallel to the boat's transverse axis
(Fig. 4).
Compensate the lack of parallelism appropriately with a maximum tolerance of 1.5 mm (1/16 in).
• Position the stabilizer with the flywheel parallel to the hull's longitudinal axis
(Fig. 2 - Fig. 5)
7.1 - Types of Underbody
• Fiberglass hulls
The fiberglass support shall be laminated to the hull, in compliance with the regulations in force.
Considering the mechanical stress to which the hull will be subjected, extra care should be placed on the lamination. If the
support structure has to be reinforced, we recommend incorporating aluminum or brass plates in the fiberglass.
• Aluminum alloy or steel hulls
The aluminum alloy or steel mounting structure shall be welded to the hull. Consult the manufacturer/boatyard, naval
engineers and/or specialized companies to assess additional modifications such as cross-beams and stringers near the unit
to be installed.
• Wood hull
Consult the manufacturer/boatyard, naval engineers and/or specialized companies to assess suitable additional
modifications.
7.0 - Support structure
The reinforced mounting structure that supports the stabilizer must be made according to the boat characteristics
and should be made by a certified installer or a boatyard.
The mounting structure should be built by qualified personnel only after having conducted a suitable analysis on
the loads that the gyroscope will transfer to the hull
(see section 6.0).
Quick

SpA will assume no responsibility for the manufacturing of the mounting structure on which the stabilizer is
to be installed.
However, considering a typical installation, we recommend a frame reinforced with brass plates with a minimum thickness
of 18 mm.
The examples in sections 7.4 and 7.5 below are to be considered purely indicative.
