HydroAxe saildrive line cutter kit: scissor action, everything in one box

A rope round a saildrive is never convenient, and usually arrives in the one harbor where you most need to steer. The HydroAxe deals with it before it becomes your afternoon. A rotating cutter turns with the propeller and shears rope, net, weed and plastic against a fixed blade, the way a pair of scissors does.

Why scissor action? When Yachting Monthly tank-tested rope cutters, the scissor types handled the widest range of material, tarp and thin wire included. The HydroAxe works on the same principle.

Everything you need, in one box:

  • HydroAxe cutter for your saildrive and blade count (2 or 3 blades)
  • The right propeller nut for your propeller, so there’s no hunting for parts on haul-out day
  • Split anode (zinc or aluminum), changeable without taking the propeller off
  • Spacers, fitting bolts, thread locker and step-by-step instructions

No changes needed to your saildrive or propeller.

Fits: Yanmar SD20, SD25 and SD50/SD60; Volvo Penta 130S/150S. Works with most propellers: folding, feathering and fixed.

One price, delivered, and you’ll know where it is. Your kit is made to order and shipped from the factory in England straight to your door, with import duty taken care of. Your kit leaves the factory within 2–3 working days of your order, then DHL brings it to your door in 2–3 more. I’ll email you when your order is in, when the factory confirms it, when it ships (with tracking) and when it lands. Haul-out sooner than that? Email me before you order and we’ll find the quickest route.
