Tecnomar Lamborghini 63 Seakeeper 6 Replacement

overview

MS1 was tasked with replacing the Seakeeper 6 unit onboard the high-performance Tecnomar Lamborghini 63. The original unit had sustained damage, and our team was called in to ensure the yacht’s stabilization system was restored to factory standards. We handled the full removal of the faulty unit, structural adjustments, reinstallation, and calibration of the new gyro. Given the precision of this yacht’s design and performance expectations, this job demanded meticulous execution and was completed successfully in record time.

SCope of work

EXTERNAL WORK

Boat taken out of water

STAGE 1

The Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 was carefully hauled out of the water to provide safe access for the replacement work. Once secured on the hardstand, our team prepared the Seakeeper 6 compartment and ensured all systems were shut down before starting the job.

REMOVAL OF THE OLD SPHERE

STAGE 2

The existing Seakeeper 6 sphere was unbolted and extracted using proper lifting gear. Our technicians ensured the removal was done cleanly without damaging any surrounding components.

COMPONENTS DISCONNECTED

STAGE 3

Hydraulic lines, wiring, and fittings connected to the old sphere were fully disconnected and cleaned to prepare for the new installation. This ensured the system was ready for a seamless replacement.

NEW SPHERE INSTALLED

STAGE 4

The new Seakeeper 6 sphere was positioned and installed into the existing mount. Proper alignment and torque settings were used, following factory specifications.

RECONNECTION AND SEALING

STAGE 5

All components were reconnected, and the system was sealed and re-pressurized. The team conducted a leak check and ensured structural integrity throughout the unit.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

STAGE 6

Once the new sphere was secured, the system was restarted and calibrated. Basic motion checks and dockside testing were performed to confirm correct operation.

SEA TRIAL & TESTING

STAGE 7

A full sea trial was carried out to test the stabilization performance in real conditions. The results showed restored performance, confirming the replacement was a complete success.
