Key Benefits
1) Superior roll reduction

• Up to 95% roll reduction for smoother passages and comfortable nights at anchor.
• Works across a wide speed envelope and in rougher sea states.

2) Fuel-efficient performance

• No external appendages → zero added hydrodynamic drag.
• Stable trim helps the hull and props work efficiently at cruising RPM.

3) Clean retrofit with minimal exterior work

• Internal unit—no fin pockets, no fairing, no paint disruption beyond service accesses.
• Suitable for a wide range of yacht sizes and layouts.

4) Low routine upkeep

• Sealed, self-contained units designed for continuous duty.
• Periodic lubrication checks, sensor health checks, and firmware updates keep performance at peak.

Our Process: Installation & Calibration
1) System assessment & planning

• Vessel survey (LOA/beam, displacement, GM/roll characteristics, duty cycle).
• Model selection for target sea states and use profile (cruising vs charter vs offshore).
• Optimal machinery-space location for access, cooling, and structure.

2) Mounting & structural integration

• Reinforced foundation design and fabrication.
• Vibration-isolating mounts to minimize transfer into the hull.
• Ventilation and service clearances verified.

3) Electrical & control integration

• Power provisioning (start/spin-up loads and normal running).
• Bridge controls and safety interlocks; integration with autopilot/navigation as applicable.
• Alarms and monitoring into the yacht’s existing systems.

4) Software calibration & sea trials

• Vessel-specific tuning based on displacement and roll period.
• Test runs at anchor and underway; parameter optimization for responsiveness and comfort.

5) Maintenance plan & handover

• Lubrication schedule, sensor/firmware update cadence.
• Owner/crew training, quick-start, and fault-response checklist.

Routine Maintenance (What we do)

• Lubrication & cooling checks (as per OEM intervals)
• Sensor verification & recalibration (IMU/gyro response tests)
• Firmware & control software updates
• Electrical audit (spin-up current draw, connectors, protection devices)
• Mounting inspection (foundations, isolation condition, fastener torque)
• Ventilation & temperature trend review (overheat prevention)

Common Issues We Solve
Performance shortfalls

• Undersized unit for displacement/GM → recommend re-spec or dual-unit strategy.
• Misalignment or isolation problems causing onboard vibration/noise.
• Overheating from inadequate airflow—ventilation redesign and thermal monitoring.

Power & integration faults

• Insufficient supply for spin-up → dedicated circuiting and soft-start strategies.
• Control system mis-wires or conflicts with AP/DP systems—interface rework and tests.

Mechanical wear

• Premature bearing wear or lube system faults—root-cause, parts replacement, and condition monitoring.
• Unbalanced mounting or foundation flex—reinforcement and re-alignment.

Software & calibration

• Outdated firmware → slow response or nuisance alarms—update and retune.
• Poor initial calibration → delayed roll correction—sea-trial optimization.

Why yachtservice.me

• Certified installation of leading gyro brands with OEM-compliant foundations and wiring.
• Precision calibration and documented sea-trial results.
• Advanced diagnostics (thermal, vibration, power quality) for preventative care.
• Lifecycle support plans tailored to private and charter vessels.

Frequently Asked Questions
How loud is a gyro?
Modern units are well-isolated; in machinery spaces the sound is typically a steady hum. Proper isolation and ventilation design keep cabin noise low.
What about power draw?
Spin-up requires higher current; running consumption is modest and predictable. We size circuits and advise on generator/alternator strategy accordingly.
Will it fight my autopilot?
No—when integrated correctly, the gyro handles roll while autopilot manages heading/yaw. We ensure clean signal interfaces and test both together.
How long does a retrofit take?
Typical projects run 3–7 days depending on foundation fabrication and access. We schedule dry-dock or alongside work to fit your calendar.
Is it worth it at anchor?
Yes—gyros shine at zero speed, dramatically reducing roll at anchor and in beam swell.
