Developed over a period of five years, this extensively field-tested ropecutter represents the current state of the art in this technological area.

Manufactured entirely from 316 stainless steel, Gators have needle-sharp serrated teeth which are designed in such a way as to cut and tear apart potentially disabling material before it has any chance of fouling your propeller.
Gators are also strategically reinforced in all key areas to ensure maximum strength and durability.
All steel parts are machined at our own premises, enabling us to maintain the strictest quality control and ensuring close tolerances.
It was observed that other products on the market were potentially flawed in their design, and Gators have been engineered to the highest standards to overcome these limitations.
Gators are a new range of ropecutters, designed to overcome the shortcomings and problems of many existing devices on the market.

You may be asking yourself "Do I need a ropecutter?", or "What does a ropecutter do?". Ropecutters are devices which are designed to cut through ropes, nets, plastic bags, fishing lines etc... which may otherwise become bound around your propeller and/or propeller shaft. Modern synthetic materials used for making ropes and nets for maritime use have exacerbated the problem, and may not only become entangled, but also actually melt and become bonded to your propeller shaft. The dangers resulting from this can result in anything from running aground to loss of life.
