WATERJET ADVANTAGES
RELIABILITY
HamiltonJet waterjets have fewer moving parts and most major components inboard, minimizing the chance accidental damage and increasing the life of components.
TOTAL SAFETY
No exposed propeller for complete safety around people in the water and marine life
EXCELLENT MANOEUVREABILITY
- Precise steering control at all boat speeds
- “Zero Speed” steering effect provides 360° thrusting ability for docking and holding stationary.
- Sideways movement possible with multiple jet installations.
- High efficiency astern thrust with “power-braking” ability at speed
MAXIMUM ENGINE LIFE
- Jet unit impeller is finely matched to engine power
- Power absorption is the same regardless of boat speed
- No possibility of engine overload under any conditions
- High efficiency astern thrust with “power-braking” ability at speed
SPEED
HamiltonJet waterjets are designed to be optimized for vessel speeds from 25-50 knots, dependent on application’s engineering variables including hull resistance and type, engine power rating and rpm, impeller rating, etc.
SIMPLICITY
- Single packaged module
- No heavy and expensive gearbox required for many installations. Simple driveline from engine to jet coupling
HIGH EFFICIENCY
- Propulsive coefficients as good or higher than the best propeller systems achievable at medium to high planing speeds
- Flexibility when using multiple waterjets may allow operators to continue to operate efficiently on fewer drives
EASY INSTALLATION
- Complete factory tested package, ready to bolt in
- No difficult engine alignment problems
LOW DRAG AND SHALLOW DRAUGHT
- Absence of underwater appendages reduces hull resistance
- Shallow draught – the waterjet intake is flush with hull bottom to allow access to shallow water areas and beach landings with no risk of damage to the drive
LOW MAINTENANCE
- No protruding propulsion gear eliminates impact damage or snags
- Minimum downtime and simple maintenance routines
SMOOTH AND QUIET
- No hull vibration, no torque effect and no high speed cavitation gives maximum comfort levels on board
- Low underwater acoustic signature
