The SG65 offers 15% higher stabilization performance, 10% lower energy consumption and a 15% reduction in weight compared with the SG60.
Smartgyro, a global innovator in marine stabilization, previews the SG65 at Metstrade 2026, an all-new gyro stabilizer designed to enhance onboard performance for vessels between 55 and 68 feet.
The SG65 breaks free from the SG60 legacy, bringing a new design, developed around the demands of modern boatbuilders, installers and owners, from increasingly constrained engine-room layouts to the need for faster, simpler servicing. The result is a more compact, more efficient and lighter stabilizer, delivering up to 15% more stabilization performance, 10% lower energy consumption, and a 15% reduction in weight compared with the SG60.
Smartgyro has reengineered the SG65’s braking system to deliver smoother operation, improved uptime, and easier servicing. By integrating the hydraulic manifold into the cylinders, the SG65 reduces hose clutter and overall system complexity, minimizing potential failure points and simplifying maintenance. This innovation, now patent-pending, packs more reliability into a smaller space.
Standing out for delivering heightened performance within a remarkably compact design, the SG65 is just 3% larger than the SG45 and 20% smaller than the SG80. This innovation offers boatbuilders greater flexibility, making it easier to integrate advanced stabilization systems into today’s increasingly space-restricted engine rooms. With a 15% reduction in weight, the SG65’s streamlined architecture simplifies installation without sacrificing the high-caliber performance expected from Smartgyro solutions.
The SG65 simplified sphere design gives direct access to critical parts, reducing service times, and supporting Smartgyro’s philosophy of onboard maintenance. Sensors now sit outside the vacuum section for faster diagnostics and improved reliability, while the new two-piece cover lets crews inspect and maintain the system without navigating bulky, single-piece panels.
The SG65 also brings a new level of component standardization to the Smartgyro range. By sharing key elements with the newly evolved SG45, Smartgyro helps builders and dealers streamline spare parts management and boost service responsiveness across both platforms.
Also making its debut at Metstrade 2026, the SG45 represents the next step in the evolution of the SG40. Building on its initial technical upgrade in 2025, the rebranded SG45 features further refinements, including a more compact, lower-profile architecture and a redesigned flat, two-piece upper cover.
Fabrizio Stifani, R&D Manager at Smartgyro, said: “Our experience in the field and ongoing dialogue with boat owners and engineers are valuable contributions to our development process. With the SG65, we wanted to push the boundaries further, rethinking several aspects of the design to meet the needs of modern vessels, where space is increasingly limited and efficiency is essential. The result is a new generation of Smartgyro technology, combining high performance, compact design and ease of maintenance.”
As part of the YANMAR Group, Smartgyro is backed by a strong global support network and long-term commitment to marine innovation, further reinforcing its position as a trusted technology partner in the international marine market.
The new SG65 is now available for order, with first deliveries scheduled for 2027.
