H4marine Cuts It at seawork2004
01 Jun 2004
Appearing for the first time at seawork will be H4marine Ltd , which has recently been appointed as distributor for two new products from Quickwater Marine of Australia.
Successfully trialled on military and commercial craft from 30ft to 200ft, the quicKutter and sandStopper will be giving their first demonstration performances anywhere in Europe at seawork2004 .
quicKutter is a new design for a simple yet strong rope and debris cutter that has almost no effect on water flow over the propeller, thus not impeding vessel performance or creating cavitation. With optional hardened blades, quicKutter isclaimed to be the first cutter to cut through stainless steel wire.
With few parts, no bearings and not requiring cathodic protection, quicKutter has been trialled through an entire season on commercial fishing boats in Australia and emerged with only a few nicks where it has chewed through stainless steel hooks and fishing line wrapped around drive shafts.
quicKutter is also available for outboards.
sandStopper is a device that ensures no sand or silt enters the water lubricated bearings on shaft driven vessels. Fitted to commercial craft operating in shallow sandy waters for trials last year, they were so effective that the vessel operators have now placed orders. H4marine is in advanced stages of discussion with specifying engineers for a number of commercial craft in the UK.
