One of the standout features of the ARG Gyro Stabilizer is its ease of installation and maintenance. But what makes the installation process so simple, and how does this benefit boat owners?
No Through-Hull Fittings Required for Easy Installation
Unlike some other stabilizers, ARG Gyro Stabilizers do not require through-hull fittings. This simplifies the installation process, reducing the time and effort needed to get your stabilizer up and running. It also means fewer potential points of failure and leaks. Because of this, depending on the boat and the size of the unit required, the installation can be done without pulling the boat out of the water.
Air-Cooled Operation
ARG stabilizers use an air-cooled system, which eliminates the need for complex plumbing and water cooling systems. Because they are air-cooled, there is no sea or salt water running through the system, significantly reducing the possibility of corrosion. This not only simplifies installation but also reduces maintenance requirements, making the stabilizer more reliable and easier to maintain. This also means that if the system is not used for a period of time, there is no risk of corrosion that could impair its functionality when restarted.
Retrofit Friendly Stabilizers
Whether you have a new or secondhand vessel, ARG Gyro Stabilizers are designed to be retrofit-friendly. Their compact and efficient design means they can be easily integrated into a wide range of boats without extensive modifications. Owners can enjoy the benefits of advanced stabilisation technology without the need for major structural changes or prolonged downtime. With ARG, enhancing the stability and comfort of your boat has never been easier or more accessible.
User-Friendly Maintenance
The maintenance of ARG stabilizers is straightforward and user-friendly. With fewer parts and a simpler design, routine checks and servicing are easy to perform. The schedule for servicing is as follows:
- Every 12 months: The top and bottom bearings are checked by simply lifting the cover off the top, inspecting the top spin bearing, then rotating the unit 180 degrees to check the bottom spin bearing.
- Every 5 years: The top and bottom spin bearings are replaced. This is done by removing the top cover and replacing the top bearing, rotating the unit 180 degrees, and replacing the bottom bearing.
This reduces the overall cost and hassle of maintaining your stabilizer.
Conclusion
In summary, the ease of installation and maintenance of ARG Gyro Stabilisers makes them a superior choice for boat owners. Their no through-hull fittings, air-cooled operation, retrofit-friendly design, and user-friendly maintenance ensure a hassle-free experience, allowing you to focus on enjoying your time on the water. In fact, ARG owners have started using the hashtag #argforlife – as a testament to their reliability.
Client Testimonial
Michael V (76′ Azzura, Custom Game Boat):
Thank you very much for the fitment of the ARG Gyro Stabilizer. They are fantastic, especially in following quarter seas, stopping corkscrewing. When we turned the ARG Gyro on, what surprised me was when we were loading our 1.5T Sealegs tender with our bow crane, they stabilise the boat and make it so much safer. The big boat does not layover at all now!
