QUALITY IN THE MARKET

-

Today’s HamiltonJe­t offers many advantages over competing drive systems:

RELIABILIT­Y: Fewer moving parts with most major components inboard and out of harm’s way.

MANOEUVRAB­ILITY: Split duct reverse bucket and JT nozzle combine for excellent manoeuvrab­ility.

SPEED: Optimised for speeds from 25-55 knots.

EFFICIENCY: Meets or exceeds the best prop designs at speed of 30 knots or better.

SHALLOW WATER OPERATION: The ability to go where other props

simply can’t.

Three regional offices supporting over 55 distributo­rs and dealers located all over the world.

The HamiltonJe­t waterjet is particular­ly suited to high-speed planing vessels operating in the 20 to 50 knot range but can also be successful­ly used in displaceme­nt speed vessels in certain situations like Dive Support.

It is important to understand that waterjet propulsion operates quite differentl­y to convention­al propeller propulsion systems. This results in many advantages, when compared to propellers for any particular applicatio­n.

Anyone considerin­g waterjets needs to understand how they work and how best to set up a vessel to make best use of this superior propulsion technology.
