In the Autumn of 2018, a 30m yacht was washed onto the rocks in front of Palma Cathedral because of rope caught around the propeller. The crew were powerless to do anything to prevent the impending wreck and the yacht was destroyed on the rocks. Fortunately, no one was hurt. A ropecutter, less than the price of a nice lunch would have saved a bill of millions of euros.

Avoid these issues by fitting a quality ropecutter that will quickly and efficiently slice through any rope or cable. We sell only the best quality using extremely sharp hardened steel that will cut through rope, cable, plastic waste, etc. with ease.

Marine Control keep an extensive stock of ropecutters and their bearings for all shaft sizes, please contact us for availability. We sell several different makes of ropecutter as some are better than others in different applications. For example, one particular brand performs very well with 3 blade props on large shafts. Let us guide you as to the best size, make and model for your vessel. We can visit your boat and work out exactly what type you need depending on your shaft size, prop, etc.

There is an excellent short video here, showing testing of various ropecutters and gives a good idea of how they work.
