It´s supposed to lower ship maintenance to 10% but didn´t lower it at all. I was doing some testing with reform decisions since there wasn´t much detail provided by the reform decisions menu (btw, thanks to whoever wrote the wiki site about it), while I noticed this. I raised an x amount of fleets, then ran the game for a while without doing the reform to see the cost, and then did the same with the sea-bound doctrine chosen. The cost was exactly the same. I loaded the game in between.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the point of picking Seabound is that it doesn't raise the cost of ships to the fully loaded 100% cost after your reform. In other words, you keep the 10% unreformed pagan price post-reformation. And Norse culture may be an exception, in that it always stays at 10% maintenance cost.
But people have reported that going from Unreformed Suomenusko to Reformed Suomenusko, if you don't pick Seabound as one of your doctrines (even if you stay tribal) the ship maintenance costs increases greatly.
Not sure what your starting Religion and Culture is, so maybe this doesn't apply to you, but just throwing it out in case it is helpful. I guess the true test would be to run the same experiment you just described, and pick two doctrines that aren't Seabound, and see what happens to the ship maintenance costs.

I am playing a Norse culture so that´s the thing here as you said. I didn´t know there was a reduced maintenance cost for Norse. I am fairly new to this game and think this game needs more in-game information about details of the game (such as this one) so the player doesn´t have to search everything from the internet, and also misunderstandings like this one could be avoided. I don´t remember seeing it mentioned anywhere in the game that Norse get cheaper maintenance.
