HS160 Stabilizers – SE Stabilis Electra System (California)
California’s offshore swell, wind-driven afternoon chop, and high-traffic coastal waterways can challenge even large yachts at speed. The HS160 Stabilizers (SE Stabilis Electra System) are built for high-demand installations where powerful stabilization authority, fast response, and heavy-duty marine engineering matter most—helping deliver a smoother, more controlled ride along the California coast.
The HS System is an evolution of the SE Stabilis Electra platform, designed to suit a wide range of hull shapes and optimized for planing yachts. Key improvements include a more efficient fin profile to reduce resistance, upgraded electronics for faster performance, and the ability to control integrated onboard systems—such as steering and intruder functions—alongside fin operation.
Built for Large Planing Yachts in California Sea States
When swell meets chop, roll can become exhausting for guests and crew and can limit how the boat is used. HS160 is designed to deliver meaningful stabilization at cruising speeds, helping:
- Reduce roll motion for improved comfort and onboard usability
- Increase confidence on longer coastal and offshore runs
- Keep the yacht more composed in mixed sea states
- Support efficiency with a refined fin profile aimed at reducing drag
Key System Advantages
- Evolution of SE Stabilis Electra, optimized for planing yachts
- Efficient fin profile designed to reduce resistance
- Upgraded electronics for faster response and performance
- Capability to manage integrated systems (steering/intruders) alongside fin control
- Heavy-duty construction with sealing and lubrication designed for longevity
Engineering & Construction Details
HS160 is built around robust components selected for strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life in marine environments:
- Fin connection: Precision machined oversized self-locking taper
- Shaft: 140 mm duplex stainless steel
- Actuator housing: High-strength ductile iron
- Bearings: Heavy-duty tapered roller bearings (upper and lower)
- Lower seal: Two double-lip seals for maximum seawater protection, accessible in a 316 stainless steel retainer
- Upper seal: Double-lip, spring-loaded seal for grease retention and protection against external contaminants
- Lubrication: Pre-packed water-resistant grease for lifetime maintenance-free service; reduction gearbox lubricated with mineral oil
- Fit & finish: Painted RAL 9016 and polished
