Drastically Reduce Pitch and Roll: Seakeeper Ride Arrives at Marine & Outdoors
We’re excited to share that Marine & Outdoors is now an official dealer for Seakeeper Ride — one of the latest advancements in marine technology. As a dealership, we’re always looking for ways to bring our customers the best innovations on the water, and Seakeeper Ride is a game-changer.
So, what is Seakeeper Ride?
It’s an automatic boat stabilisation system that uses rapid-acting blades mounted on the transom to eliminate up to 70% of pitch and roll. In other words, it makes boating smoother, safer, and easier.
Here’s what it means for you on the water:
Smoother Ride: Dramatically reduces pitch and roll while underway.
Comfort & Safety: Creates a more stable platform for you and your crew.
Effortless Control: Fully automatic — no trimming or button pushing.
Better Performance: Faster acceleration, enhanced fuel efficiency, and improved stability in turns.
Easy to add to your boat
Seakeeper Ride can be installed on a new build or retrofitted to your existing hull. The process is straightforward and usually completed within a few days, once any required transom modifications are taken care of. It’s compatible with most fiberglass and aluminum hulls and integrates seamlessly with leading electronics brands like Garmin, Simrad, Raymarine, and Furuno.

How is Seakeeper Ride different from conventional trim tabs?
Seakeeper Ride works like advanced trim tabs, creating lift with a high-pressure wedge of water under the transom. But unlike traditional systems, its rotary design and smart software react instantly—delivering the same force in a fraction of the time. Fully automatic, it adjusts on every wave before you even feel it, making Seakeeper Ride the only true underway stabilisation system available today.
As one of the first dealerships in New Zealand to offer Seakeeper Ride, we’re proud to be bringing the future of marine technology to our customers today.
