Description
MC² X5 AC Gyro Stabilizer (California)
California waters can be surprisingly lively—even close to shore. Afternoon wind chop, long-period swell, and constant wake traffic in marinas and anchorages can keep smaller boats rolling when you’re trying to relax, fish, entertain, or overnight. The MC² X5 AC is a compact gyroscopic stabilizer built to reduce roll at anchor and underway, delivering a steadier ride with fast spool-up, low noise, and smart safety protections.
With an efficient footprint and responsive control, the X5 AC is a strong fit for owners who want the comfort benefits of gyro stabilization without adding external appendages or sacrificing the boat’s handling feel.
Why MC² X5 AC Fits California Boating
From harbors in San Diego and Long Beach to Catalina and weekend anchorages, the biggest comfort killer is often side-to-side roll. The X5 AC is designed to help by:
- Smoothing roll at anchor in swell and cross-wake environments
- Keeping motion more controlled while cruising in mixed sea states
- Reducing fatigue during longer days on the water
- Making onboard activities easier—moving around, cooking, rigging, and relaxing

Control & Monitoring
MC² Touch Remote Panels
MC² stabilizers can be managed through touch panels with 3.5″ or 5″ graphic displays. These panels allow you to monitor:
- Precession release status
- RPM (flywheel speed)
- Inclination angle range (width of the inclination angle)
User utilities include maintenance reminders and fault alarms, plus adjustment and display preference options.
MC² Mobile App
The MC² Mobile App is designed to record stabilizer performance during sea trials and display results on smartphones and tablets (iOS and Android), helping verify performance after installation.
