Description
MC² X56 AC Gyro Stabilizer (California)
California sea conditions can change fast—long-period swell offshore, steep afternoon chop closer in, and constant wake energy in popular harbors. The MC² X56 AC is a high-output gyroscopic stabilizer designed to dramatically reduce roll both underway and at anchor, helping your yacht feel steadier, safer, and noticeably more comfortable from dockside lounging to overnight anchoring.
Built around a smart, compact design and advanced control logic, the X56 AC combines strong stabilization performance with low-noise operation and layered protection features—ideal for owners who want comfort without compromising the way they use their boat.
Why MC² X56 AC Makes Sense on the California Coast
From San Diego to the Channel Islands and up through Santa Barbara and beyond, boaters routinely deal with swell, wind waves, and busy anchorages. The MC² X56 AC is designed to improve the onboard experience by:
- Reducing the side-to-side roll that causes fatigue and discomfort
- Keeping the boat steadier at anchor in swell and cross-wake environments
- Enhancing comfort in the salon, galley, and staterooms during rougher passages
- Supporting refit projects where installation flexibility matters
Core Features
- High performance stabilization (effective at speed and at anchor)
- Complete protection philosophy with safety-focused system behavior
- Smart, compact design for efficient use of onboard space
- High installation flexibility, including refit-friendly installation
- Dynamic precession control for responsive roll reduction
- Precession lock function available from the remote panel
- Equipped with Quick® electric motors
- Low noise emission for quieter onboard comfort
- Thermal protection for safer operation under demanding conditions
- MC² Touch Remote Control support
- MC² Mobile App support (iOS and Android)
Control & Monitoring
MC² Touch Remote Panels
MC² systems can be managed via touch panels with 3.5″ or 5″ graphic displays. These panels allow you to monitor key operating information including:
- Precession release status
- RPM (flywheel speed)
- Angle of inclination range (width of the inclination angle)
User utilities include maintenance reminders and fault alarms, plus adjustments and display preference options.
MC² Mobile App
The MC² Mobile App is designed to record stabilizer performance during sea trials and present results in a clear, comprehensive format on both smartphones and tablets (iOS and Android). This is especially useful for validating stabilization results during commissioning and sea testing.

Notes on Performance Values
- Rated speed refers to flywheel RPM (revolutions per minute).
- Angular momentum quantifies the torque needed to balance the system over time (N·m·s).
- Output torque is the torque generated by the rotor at rated speed (N·m).
- Power absorption can vary depending on wave period.
- Weight excludes the optional base plate accessory (standard or custom).
