Seakeeper Ride.
Next-generation Vessel Attitude Control. Eliminates up to 70% of pitch and roll automatically. 100 stabilization adjustments per second. No more manual trim-tab adjustments — ever.
Terry's Marine Service is an authorized Seakeeper Ride dealer, offering the latest in vessel attitude control technology for Lake Erie boaters. Seakeeper Ride is a Vessel Attitude Control System (VACS) — a modern, intelligent alternative to traditional trim tabs that uses advanced inertial sensing and rotary blade technology to keep your boat level and stable in virtually any sea condition.
Unlike mechanical trim tabs that require constant manual adjustment, Seakeeper Ride operates fully automatically — making 100 stabilization adjustments per second to correct pitch, roll, and yaw. The result is a dramatically smoother, more comfortable ride that reduces fatigue and improves fuel efficiency.
Whether you're running a center console, express cruiser, or commercial fishing vessel, Seakeeper Ride transforms the boating experience with automatic, intelligent stabilization that works at every planing speed.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions.
What is the difference between Seakeeper Ride and trim tabs?
Trim tabs require constant manual adjustment and are slow to respond. Seakeeper Ride is fully automatic, makes 100 stabilization adjustments per second, and corrects pitch, roll, and yaw simultaneously. The result is a dramatically smoother ride with no driver input.
At what speeds does Seakeeper Ride work?
Trim authority begins at 10 mph, full stabilization at 20–25 mph. It's designed for planing-speed operation — best for center consoles, express cruisers, and commercial fishing vessels.
Can Seakeeper Ride be installed on my existing boat?
Yes — it's designed for retrofit. Compatible with stepped and non-stepped hulls, fiberglass and aluminum construction. We'll evaluate your transom and confirm fitment before quoting.
How much does Seakeeper Ride improve fuel efficiency?
By optimizing running angle automatically, most owners see 5–15% improvement in fuel economy at cruise. The exact gain depends on hull type, load, and conditions.
Is Seakeeper Ride the same as a gyroscopic stabilizer?
No — Seakeeper Ride is a separate product line from Seakeeper's gyroscopic stabilizers. Gyros are larger, heavier, designed for at-rest and slow-speed stabilization. Ride is a planing-speed Vessel Attitude Control System (VACS) with rotary blades. Different products, different jobs. We can point you to the right one.
