Three Services, One Independent Source

⚓ Removal & Consignment Sale

We remove your gyro, assess its condition, and sell it on consignment in running, pull-out condition. You get the proceeds minus our fee. No manufacturer affiliation means no conflict of interest — we represent the seller, not the brand.

Condition Assessment Running Pull-Out Consignment Terms

⚓ Relocation Within the Same Vessel

Move the gyro to a different location on the same vessel. Requires foundation re-engineering, power system re-routing, and structural analysis. Reference: M/V Saint Tony — full relocation + re-engineer of foundation to correct CG shift.

Foundation Redesign CG Analysis Power Re-Routing

⚓ Removal & Install in a Different Vessel

Remove from one vessel and install in another. This is rarely offered because it requires independent engineering analysis of BOTH hulls, power systems, and foundations. We evaluate suitability, engineer the new foundation, and manage the full transfer.

Dual-Vessel Analysis Foundation Engineering Full Transfer

⚓ Foundation Re-Engineering (Same Location)

The gyro stays put but the foundation is redesigned. Used when the original foundation flexes, cracks, or was under-engineered. Reference: M/V Invisible — foundation completely redesigned after structural failure analysis.

Why This Service Is Rare

Manufacturers Don't Want You to Remove It

Dealers make money selling new units, not relocating used ones. Manufacturer warranties are often voided by relocation. Independent engineering is the only way to do this right — because we're not tied to any brand's sales target.

Most Yards Don't Have the Engineering Capacity

Relocating a gyro requires naval architecture analysis (CG shift, hull behavior), structural engineering (foundation design), and power system redesign (bus routing, battery placement). Most marine yards are installers, not engineers.

We Do — Because We're Engineers First

Our team includes naval architects, marine electrical engineers, and composite specialists. We've relocated, re-engineered, and removed units that other yards wouldn't touch. Every job starts with a written engineering assessment, not a quote.

The Process: Removal & Consignment

Step 1: Engineering Assessment

We board your vessel and assess the gyro's condition: bearing wear, spin performance, electrical health, and structural integrity. This determines market value and whether the unit is suitable for resale.

Step 2: Professional Removal

We remove the unit using proper lifting, securing, and crating procedures. The vessel's foundation is inspected and documented. Any structural repairs are quoted separately.

Step 3: Condition Documentation

Full photographic and video documentation of the unit's condition. Spin test, electrical test, and bearing noise assessment. This becomes the buyer's disclosure package.

Step 4: Consignment Listing

The unit is listed in our network of independent buyers, yards, and vessel owners seeking used gyros. We handle inquiries, showings, and buyer qualification.

Step 5: Sale & Transfer

Upon sale, we coordinate crating, shipping, and installation support for the buyer. You receive the proceeds minus our consignment fee. No upfront cost to you.

Case References

M/V Saint Tony — Relocation + Re-Engineer

Original gyro location created CG shift that worsened roll characteristics. We relocated the unit to a lower, more central position, redesigned the foundation with a box-frame mount, and re-routed the power bus. Result: improved stabilization and reduced noise.

M/V Invisible — Foundation Redesign

Original foundation flexed under continuous load, causing noise and premature bearing wear. We removed the gyro, analyzed the structural failure, designed a new composite foundation with vibration isolation, and reinstalled. Result: silent operation, extended bearing life.

Need to Remove, Relocate, or Sell Your Gyro?

Independent engineering assessment first. We'll tell you honestly whether relocation is feasible, what the foundation needs, and what your unit is worth on the consignment market.
