Electric stabilizer sea trail is underway with a CMC Marine Specialist! The CMC Waveless Stab 20 is an electric stabilization system designed to provide a smoother and more comfortable ride on boats and yachts. If you're between the ages of 35 and 65 and considering purchasing this system, you might be wondering how it works and
what to expect during the calibration and sea trial process.
First, let's discuss what electric stabilization is and how it works. The CMC Waveless Stab 20 system uses gyroscopes and accelerometers to detect the movement of the boat and counteract it with electric actuators. This means that when the boat encounters waves
or choppy water, the system will automatically adjust to keep the boat stable and level. This results in a smoother ride and less stress on the passengers and crew.
When it comes to calibration and sea trials, the process is relatively straightforward. A technician will come to your boat or yacht and install the CMC Waveless Stab 20 system. They will then calibrate the system to your boat's specific dimensions and weight
distribution. This calibration ensures that the system is providing the optimal amount of stabilization for your vessel.
After the calibration, it's time for the sea trial. This is where you'll get to experience the benefits of the CMC Waveless Stab 20 firsthand. The technician will take your boat out on the water and demonstrate how the system works. They will likely encounter
waves and other disturbances to show you how the system compensates for them. You'll be able to feel the difference in how the boat rides and how much smoother and more stable it is.
Overall, the CMC Waveless Stab 20 is a great investment for anyone who wants a more comfortable and enjoyable boating experience. The calibration and sea trial process are straightforward, and you'll be able to see the benefits of the system immediately. Whether
you're an experienced boater or just starting out, the CMC Waveless Stab 20 is an excellent choice for improving your time on the water.

Stabilizers are a godsend for modern boating.

@ElliYacht1 Год назад

We couldn’t agree more

@dadejazzba402 Год назад

It would be interesting to mount a go pro under your boat to see the fins in action

@ElliYacht1 Год назад

Great idea.

@surferseadog8416 2 часа назад

You talked in an earlier video about the importance of being stable underway, at the dock, or at anchor. But this fin's stabilization systems exactly mimic a twin killed sailboat, which is one of the reasons they are more stable in all conditions. It looks like it would only be good while the boat is in motion. How does it work when you were at the dock, or at anchor?

@Leebr1966 Год назад

I wanted to start by saying I really enjoy your Channel. You all are amazing and extremely informative. My wife and I are in the search process of buying a boat and have considered buying new and also buying used. As a previous owner of a boat dealership we understand the markup of new boat sale but in recent year I am not sure it matters. My question is do you ever wish you would have purchased a new boat or a boat with all the options you have installed? I know first hand it’s always exciting doing what you have have done in making this boat exactly what you want. I have done it on countless smaller boats. Keep ‘em coming you do a great job on your videos.

@ElliYacht1 Год назад

Great question. We have about $800k in our boat all in. The ‘replacement value’ in our last survey was $1.6M. After looking at new boats and optioning them out with stabilization, LiFePO4, water maker, and the like; it would run North of that. That said, a new fully optioned build (and customized in some cases) would leave more time to actually cruise. Also, refits are like remodels in that there are trade offs that aren’t as elegant as a new build. If money was no object, new build would be our pick. Maybe that new build Fleming 58’ will be in the cards. In the meantime, we wouldn’t trade the Elli-Yacht for anything that we’ve seen to date. It fits our purpose to a T.

@mchurch3905 Год назад

I’ve been following Cruising Sea Venture for quite awhile, currently cruising in the Sea of Cortez. Their refit a few years back included an aluminum super structure and supporting arms, that trailed chained dolphins for roll, plus a bulbous bow for pitch control. I wonder how the system you installed compares to that traditional stabilization method, both in performance and cost?

@ElliYacht1 Год назад

‘Deployment’ at a touch of a button and stabilization at anchor come at a price. Effective roll reduction for us is 87%. Not sure about the Bird deployment reduction. $80k installed for us. Birds will be MUCH less.

@tao265 21 день назад

What do these add to your draft? Any concerns about damage of in shallow water, rocks, etc…?

@shawnanderson2605 Год назад

If it’s not too rude to ask, what was the approx cost for this stabilizer upgrade all inclusive?

@ElliYacht1 Год назад

$80k

@James_Dahlen Год назад

$80 was material, shipyard costs, electrical and the stabilizers? Did you have to upgrade any electrical systems, inverters, alternator generator etc. What is the 12 volt battery amp draw to inverter to 240v and run them?

@James_Dahlen Год назад

We only have 400 amp hours of battery with electrical systems sized for that, our existing inverter does not invert to 240v

@billdomb Год назад

Zero speed is no water flow, right? How do fins stabilize then? Also could use more discussion about 'walking up' on the anchor.

@ElliYacht1 Год назад

The fins ‘flap’ at zero speed to counter wave action. They move extremely fast and have a lot of leverage in the water, enough to counter wave action at rest. Other fins ‘flap’ at anchor to counter the roll. However, when they flap, they moderately propelled the boat forward. CMC rotates the fins 180 degrees so when they flap, it moderately propels the boat backwards. Cool!

@billdomb Год назад

@@ElliYacht1 Ah, I finally understand this. THANKS!

@ElliYacht1 Год назад

It’s a lot to take in to begin with. Great questions. I’ll do a follow up video to walk through it step by step.

@ystebadvonschlegel3295 2 месяца назад

@@ElliYacht1Thanks for that additional information, I didn’t understand the anchor problem originally.

@lfareccoabc 5 месяцев назад

Any concerns with breaking the fins when you run aground?

@ElliYacht1 4 месяца назад

There are no plans to run aground but they said they float and to retrieve it if we hit something so it could be reattached.

@Ricardo-SW Год назад

Intrigued as to reference to "between ages 35 and 65"- why this categorization?

@ElliYacht1 Год назад

It’s the demographic that watches our content. We were seeing if it helped RU-vid’s algorithm for impressions. Basically, just messing around.

Eventually walking directly across the salon or upper helm area without grabbing for a handhold will feel normal. Have fun U2!

@chippyjohn1 11 месяцев назад

That wasn't much of a trial, or at least you didn't share much. While these fins may work better at speed as water pressure increases, so would the powered required to move the fins. Even if they don't need to rotate as much, after a certain speed the motor would struggle to move them. I still think a gyro other than weight is a better option.

@ElliYacht1 11 месяцев назад

After 150+ hours cruising (in seas exceeding 10 ft) and 400+ hours at anchor, they work very well. Roll averaging < 2 degrees with a recoded maximum of 6 degrees. Power consumption has averaged less than 150W under way and 200W at anchor. All power has been delivered from our house battery bank, no need for running the genset. While Gyros are great for low or zero speed requirements, they have to run a genset to deliver in our situation. That didn’t meet our requirements.

@endlesssummer426 7 месяцев назад

@chippyjohn we have the stab 25 onboard and can tell you that these electric fins work absolutely great. They will adjust themselves to whatever you need, in other words if you don't need full and fast deflection you are not going to get it, thereby reducing the required electrical power. Once underway the fins will also give you exactly what is needed to keep the boat stabilized and the faster you go the less deflection is required. The motors can easily handle the pressures, you can take them up to 40 kts if you want to. Also, a great feature is that you can adjust the responsiveness yourself. So if you don't mind rolling a little bit you can reduce the responsiveness, which reduces the electrical load. If you are asleep you can switch to night mode plus bring the responsiveness down as much as you like. That reduces the electrical load even more. However, if you are in a rough sea and want to keep the boat stabilized to the fullest you just turn up the responsiveness to the maximum. To be honest I have not seen a draw of more than 800 W (at 220 V) on our system, which means we never needed the full capacity even though we have been out in 50 to 60 kts wind and 10' - 12' seas. Perhaps it is because we took one size larger than advertised, but so far they work great. On top of that, we have them on 24 hours per day, which we would not do with a gyro. The gyro does make a lot of noise and guzzles electricity. We would not be able to run a gyro plus our other systems on our battery bank and current inverter (8 Kw). On top of that we had no clue where to put the gyro, it would simply clog up the ER or lazarette. Lastly, when the water is calm we can switch them off completely, but if suddenly the wind and the seas pick up we can switch them on in a heartbeat and within a few seconds the boat is stable again. You cannot do that with a gyro, because it needs a 45 min spool up time. In other words, electric fins are definitely the future if you ask me.
