Choosing a marine gyro stabilizer is about more than reducing roll. The design of the system affects how it is installed, how it is maintained, how reliably it performs, and what your time on the water feels like.

Here are 10 advantages that set ARG apart.

1. Simple Operation

ARG is designed for straightforward operation. Switch the system on and let the gyro do the work while you enjoy your time on the water.

2. Stabilization at Low and Zero Speed

ARG does not depend on the vessel moving through the water. It stabilizes at anchor, while drifting, at trolling speeds, and underway.

3. Nothing in the Water

ARG is installed entirely inside the vessel. There are no fins, shafts, or other stabilizing components extending through the hull, so there is nothing to add drag, foul, or be damaged in shallow water or alongside a dock.

4. No High-Pressure Hydraulics

ARG does not use the high-pressure pumps, lines, and fittings required by some other stabilization systems, along with the routine servicing they bring.

5. Air-Cooled Design

ARG is air cooled rather than seawater cooled. There is no need for seawater intakes, strainers, pumps, or heat exchangers dedicated to cooling the gyro.

6. No Vacuum Chamber

ARG operates without a vacuum chamber, so there is no vacuum pump or vacuum seal to maintain. Fewer subsystems mean fewer things to service.

7. Enclosed, Protected Moving Parts

The rotating components are fully contained within the ARG unit, inside the vessel and away from salt water and the marine environment.

8. Flexible Installation

ARG can be installed in a variety of locations aboard a vessel, provided the foundation is properly engineered and sufficiently strong.

9. Low Maintenance

ARG is designed for durability and long-term reliability, which helps minimize routine maintenance and downtime. When service is needed, bearings and other components can be replaced on board, without removing the unit from the vessel.

10. Proven Experience

ARG gyro stabilization is backed by decades of development and experience at Tohmei Industries. With ARG systems operating on vessels around the world, that experience continues to shape our approach to reliable marine stabilization.

Built Around Simplicity

From installation and operation through maintenance and long-term reliability, ARG is built around one idea: effective stabilization should not have to be complicated.
