Description
MC² X16 AC Gyro Stabilizer (California)
California boating often means dealing with roll—even on “nice” days. Offshore swell, afternoon wind chop, and constant wake traffic in popular harbors can make a boat feel restless at anchor and tiring underway. The MC² X16 AC is a compact, high-speed gyroscopic stabilizer designed to reduce roll both at anchor and while cruising, creating a noticeably calmer platform for entertaining, overnighting, and coastal running.
With smart, compact engineering and advanced control features, the X16 AC delivers strong stabilization performance with low noise and built-in protections—ideal for owners who want better comfort without changing how the boat handles or performs.
Why MC² X16 AC Fits California Conditions
From San Diego bays to Catalina anchorages and up the coast through busier marinas, roll is often the biggest comfort issue. The X16 AC is designed to help by:
- Calming side-to-side motion at anchor in swell and cross-wake environments
- Improving comfort during coastal cruising through mixed sea states
- Reducing fatigue for guests and crew during longer runs
- Making onboard spaces feel steadier—salon, galley, cockpit, and staterooms
Core Features
- High performance stabilization (effective at speed and at anchor)
- Complete protection approach focused on safety and reliability
- Smart, compact design
- High installation flexibility, including refit installations
- Dynamic precession control for responsive roll reduction
- Precession lock function from the remote panel
- Equipped with Quick® electric motors
- Low noise emission for a quieter onboard experience
- 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 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 present results clearly on smartphones and tablets (iOS and Android), supporting commissioning and performance review.

Notes on Performance Values
- Rated speed: flywheel RPM (revolutions per minute).
- Angular momentum: indicates the stabilizing capability over time (N·m·s).
- Output torque: torque generated by the rotor at rated speed (N·m).
- Power absorption may vary depending on wave period.
- Weight excludes the optional base plate accessory (standard or custom).
- Comfort You Can Feel—At Anchor and Underway
With the MC² X16 AC onboard, the boat feels more settled in the conditions California is known for. Whether you’re anchored in swell, tied up in a wake-heavy harbor, or running the coast in mixed seas, it’s designed to keep motion under control—so you can relax, move around comfortably, and enjoy more time on the water.
