SLB750 Marker Buoy
SLB750 Mooring Instructions
Due to each installation being unique, the size and weight of the sinker, length and size of chain and
any counterweights will need to be determined in conjunction with the local Authorities.
The Sealite SLB750 Marker Buoy is designed to ride on the current in a vertical position, this will
allow any lantern fitted to work correctly and be seen from any direction.
If the buoy is riding forward;
Sealite would recommend the following
• The Mooring Chain and counter weight are fitted too far
forward on the buoy. When the current is flowing the buoy
is leaning into the current rather than riding on the current.
Try the following suggestions
• Move the mooring chain further back along the mooring
eyes in the base.
• Move the counter weight further back along the bottom of
the keel.
• Add more weight to the counterweight on the keel.
If the buoy is riding aft;
Sealite would recommend the following
• The Mooring Chain and counter weight are fitted too far
aft on the buoy. When the current is flowing the buoy is
leaning into the current rather than riding on the current.
Try the following suggestions
• Move the mooring chain further forward along the mooring
eyes in the base.
• Move the counter weight further forward along the bottom
of the keel.
• Reduce the weight to the counterweight on the keel.
