Due to the low frequency noise, which transmits easy thru the hull into the water due to the rigid and substantial mounting so it can apply its force of the gyro to counter act the roll, I suspect its not going to be good for attracting fish.

They'd be a must have in any boat with a high centre of gravity, like the one in the video....thankfully none of us need it.

ARG anti roll gyro

Post by makomike1 »

I just did the sea trial on betrams new 570 bertram called MOPPIE at Cape May with ship shape tv. They have the same type of device but they call theres the ARG stands for anti roll gyro. With theres it takes about 1/2 hour to warm up and get up to speed, the device is amazing to say the least. It almost takes the enire roll out of the boat. That 570 is awsome.

The last Moppie boat had them in her and caught fish very well. Kinda like having your whole boat set up to be a giant "Mako Magnet"

My son is an engineer at Naiad Marine Systems in Connecticut. They also market anti roll systems for boats 30' and up.

He will be at the Monaco Boat Show in September.

I'd never buy one...

My sharking trips would be so much more expensive having to actually buy chum instead of having the new guy toss his breakfast over the side all day. Plus I'd loose out on the entertainment factor.

On the other hand I guess I could just turn it off for awhile...or possible tune in the chum slick...hmmm
