FAQs
> Can I walk on my SeaPen?
Yes, you can walk on your SeaPen. The SeaPen’s high-density polyethylene frame can support your full body weight, giving you access to all sides of your vessel.
For more stable footing, add an anti-slip aluminium walkway to your SeaPen’s frame.
> Is the SeaPen really dry?
Yes, the SeaPen keeps your boat dry. When docked and the rear gate is closed, any trapped water is automatically pumped out by the bilge system, which then checks for water every two hours.
​
A patented rope mat separates the bilge pump from the hull, providing ventilation through an air gap around the hull and running gear. The SeaPen’s frame, sitting about 200mm above the water, prevents extra water from entering once the rear gate is closed.
> What happens if it rains or a wave washes into the SeaPen?
The SeaPen’s bilge pump system turns on every 2 hours to sense for water, pumps out any that is detected, and then goes back into standby. Heavy rain, wake, storm surges – your SeaPen will take care of them all.
> How long does the SeaPen last?
The SeaPen is built for long-lasting durability, often serving vessels for over 15 years with regular maintenance. While some parts may wear out, they can be individually replaced by our technicians. Like a car or boat, annual servicing is essential to ensure optimal performance and maintain your warranty—so be sure to schedule maintenance every 12 months.
> Can I flush my motors in the SeaPen?
Yes, you can flush your vessel’s motors in your SeaPen. Attach flush muffs or part-fill your SeaPen with fresh water. Once your motor intakes are submerged, idle the motor in neutral. If you have an outboard, you can also attach the flush muffs.
> What maintenance does the SeaPen require?
The SeaPen requires minimal maintenance. We recommend booking a preventive service every 12 months. The SeaPen is designed for durability, however, any parts that need to be replaced due to wear and tear can be replaced.
> How is the SeaPen anchored in place?
The SeaPen is usually roped off in a similar way to roping your boat off.
