Hot on the heels of the Italian-made Quik MC2 stabiliser launched at Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS) last year comes news that a new optimised X-series of the ultra-compact unit will debut at the 2018 SCIBS.
The big point of difference is that the new Quick MC2X can be managed using a remote 4in or 5in touch panel with graphic display mounted conveniently in the cockpit or at the helm.
Multi-station compatible, the new Quick MC2X also marries with the new Quik MC2 Mobile App (available for both Android and IOS devices) to record the performance of your stabiliser and track your results.
As with the Quik MC2, the new Quick MC2X stabiliser is a small, simple, air-cooled device that replaces the traditional horizontal spinning mass and more complex water-cooled management system used by other brands of stabiliser.
As this in-marina demo shows, the 240V-powered Quik unit shores-up the stability of game-fishing boats with tall towers like Megumi, and a wide range of motorcruisers and even sportscruiser down to 10m in length.
As the Quik units are some 30 per cent smaller compared to other brands of gyro, they are said to be a neat fit on new builds as well retrofitting to exiting vessels.
Importer Gineico says with several units now installed in Aussie boats and over 40 sold by Quick Italy on the global market since February 2018, the new MC2X is already a hit and bound to be be a showstopper at its Sanctuary Cove boat show stand. More at Gineico.
