Rope cutter for boat propeller shaft
Gators

Gators serrated blades close in a reverse scissor action, which positively traps any rope or line, preventing any possibility of strike-out, unlike the conventional scissor action of some designs which positively encourage strike-out, giving the rope or line yet another chance to inflict damage and disable your vessel.

Designed with computers using the latest CAM software, all 316 stainless steel parts are machined with computer controlled lathes and machining centres to very fine tolerances, ensuring full interchangeability of parts with the utmost precision.

Gators have low friction plastic bearings moulded from DELRIN®, a top grade engineering plastic, with very low wear characteristics.

Regular inspections are of course advised, but with normal use the bearings should last for several seasons. Apart from the bearings, there are no other wearing parts on Gators prop protectors, which are made from 316 stainless steel with its legendary corrosion resistance; they need no additional anodic protection.
