Abstract
A boat stabilizer system includes a first gyro stabilizer configured to be arranged inside a hull, a first fin stabilizer including a fin configured to be arranged outside the hull and move relative the hull, and a power transmission interconnecting the first gyro stabilizer and the first fin stabilizer. The power transmission is arranged to transfer energy derived from precession torque of the first gyro stabilizer to the first fin stabilizer to actuate the fin.

A boat stabilizer system comprising:
- a first gyro stabilizer configured to be arranged inside a hull;
- a first fin stabilizer comprising a fin configured to be arranged outside the hull and move relative the hull;
- and
- a power transmission interconnecting the first gyro stabilizer and the first fin stabilizer,
- wherein the power transmission is arranged to transfer actuation energy, derived from precession torque of the first gyro stabilizer, to the first fin stabilizer to actuate the fin,
- wherein the first gyro stabilizer comprises a precessing element and the first fin stabilizer comprises a movable element connected to the fin,
- wherein the power transmission is arranged to transfer energy from the precessing element to the movable element,
- wherein the precessing element is a precession shaft and the movable element is a drive shaft connected to the fin,
- wherein the precessing element and the movable element are co-axial,
- wherein the power transmission is a shaft integrating the precessing element and the movable element, and
- wherein the drive shaft and the fin extend laterally from the hull.
